Zusammenfassung:	This study analyzed the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility of urogenital Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis isolated in Xi’an, China. A total of 2161 individuals from 2011 to 2015 were included, and antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed by using the Mycoplasma IST kit. Of the individuals studied, 1018 (47.11 %) were identified to be positive for urogenital mycoplasmas. The single U. urealyticum , single M. hominis , and dual U. urealyticum and M. hominis infections accounted for 772 (75.83 %), 66 (6.48 %), and 180 (17.68 %), respectively. The total positive rate was higher in females than in males (58.76 % vs. 28.86 %, p
