Causes of *Ureaplasma urealyticum* infection include poor personal hygiene or sexual hygiene, sharing personal items—such as towels or bathtubs—with infected individuals, and swimming in unclean pools. *Ureaplasma urealyticum* can infect the genital tracts of both males and females and may also cause urinary tract infections. Consult a physician for appropriate anti-infective medication.
