And the infection women concentrated between 25 and 35 years old, accounting for 71.1%. ②The results of drug sensitivity test showed that the Uu was susceptible to doxycycline, josamycin, tetracycline, apramycin, and the sensitive rates were 97.1%, 96.1%, 95.6%, 99.0%, respectively. However, ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin had higher drug resistance rates, and the rates were 76.5% and 88.2%, respectively.
