Ureaplasmal epithelial lesions related to ammonia.

O H Stalheim, J E Gallagher

Abstract

The pathological effects of ureaplasmas on oviductal epithelium (ciliostasis and deciliation) were duplicated by adding ammonia to the medium as ammonium sulfate or by adding jack bean urease, which hydrolyzed the urea in the medium.
