» NealC - Re: Re: Significance in identification / testing of UU
In response to message posted by emjay2:UU stands for a bacteria called Ureaplasma urealyticum. It is a bacteria that lacks a cell wall and is frequently found in the normal microbial flora of our bodies. It commonly dwells towards the end of the urethra (the tube that takes our urine from our bodies). It can cause human disease but it is not as common as other well known bacteria. It can cause an inflammation of the urethra.
