Mycoplasma hominis is the smallest prokaryotic microorganism with no cell wall, high pleomorphism, and slower reproduction than bacteria. It is difficult for clinical technicians to find M. hominis through the negative Gram staining of specimens. Therefore, it is likely to miss detection in routine clinical smear etiological examination. M. hominis is generally considered to be a common colonizing bacterium in urogenital tract with low pathogenicity, and it is usually difficult to invade submucosal tissue and enter the bloodstream.
