Mycoplasma hominis is an opportunistic human mycoplasma species residing in the lower urogenital tract. [10] It is a common human urogenital Mycoplasma species that lacks a cell wall. Due to the absence of the cell wall, M. hominis is innately resistant to β-lactams and to all antibiotics which target the cell wall. [ 11 ]
Mycoplasma species have been isolated from women with bacterial vaginosis. [3] M. genitalium is found in women with pelvic inflammatory disease. [44] In addition, infection is associated with increased risk of cervicitis, infertility, preterm birth and spontaneous abortion.

Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome occurs almost exclusively in women, though it can be seen in males rarely. [5] It is complication of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (Chlamydia) or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gonorrhea) though other bacteria such as Bacteroides, Gardnerella, E. coli and Streptococcus have also been found to cause Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome on occasion.
