      Seven different mycoplasmas have been isolated from the human genitourinary tract. The diseases they cause or with which they have been associated are described. Diagnosis of infection by cultural and noncultural (antigen detection, DNA probes) methods is discussed in detail. The more useful serologic procedures are included as well.
