  • The first section was used for semen analysis, the second section for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in which U4 and U5 primers were used for the amplification of the urease gene of U. urealyticum, and RNAH1 and RNAH2 primers were used for amplification of the 16S rRNA gene of M. hominis. (celljournal.org)
  • From a total of 220 semen samples cultured, 15.5% of M. hominis and 40.5% of U. urealyticum were isolated. (celljournal.org)
