The relationship between Ureaplasma respiratory tract colonization and duration of mechanical ventilation and risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). In a cohort of 230 preterm infants <33 weeks’ gestation, infants with duration of ventilation <12 days compared to infants with longer duration of mechanical ventilation were less likely to be colonized with Ureaplasma (P < 0.01) (A). Ureaplasma-colonized infants ventilated for >2 and <33 days were more likely to develop BPD than non-colonized infants (B).
