Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are microorganisms involved in many pathologies and intrauterine infections. Vaginal wall swabs were taken from 278 women for mycoplasma detection and to study the antimicrobial susceptibility using the Mycoplasma IST2 Kit (bioMérieux). We were able to document in 278 women enrolled in the study, 64.7% have infections caused by U. urealyticum, 22.7% by M. hominis, and 19.4 % of coinfections involving both germs. Such infections were observed in age groups between 18 and 42 years. Other socio-demographic characteristics studies have been conducted, which allowed to document that single women were the majority population with 68.7% against 16.5% who were living in couple. In response to our questionnaire, 131 single women enrolled in the study never protected themselves during sexual intercourse compared with 52.9% who reported using at least condom. A total of 260 (93.5%) of women reported having only one partner versus 6.5% having more. The study of strains susceptibility to antibiotics revealed a resistance of approximately 80% for macrolides and 100% for fluoroquinolones. All our isolated strains had a sensitivity of about 90% for Pristinamycin and 70% for Josamycin. This study shows that carriage of mycoplasma infection is high in female population in Franceville and vicinities, what should be an element of cautious use of antibiotic during probabilistic therapy treatment of mycoplasma.
