Ureaplasma parvum as a cause of sternal wound infection.

Andrew Walkty1, Evelyn Lo, Kanchana Manickam, Michelle Alfa, Li Xiao, Ken Waites.   

Abstract

Few reports in the literature have documented the isolation of Ureaplasma species from sternal wounds. A case of sternal wound infection likely due to Ureaplasma parvum is described. When routine bacterial cultures from a sternal wound infection fail to yield a pathogen, diagnostic testing for mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas should be considered.
