Ureaplasma infection and hyperammonemia. (A) Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Mollicutes-positive donor lung bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cultures and recipient D pretransplant urine. (B) The Ureaplasma isolates were inoculated (count 108) into immunocompetent mice, which resulted in hyperammonemia. n = 5; *P < 0.05. M. salivarum = Mycoplasma salivarum; R = resistant; S = susceptible; U. parvum = Ureaplasma parvum; U. urealyticum = Ureaplasma urealyticum.
