Abstract:
Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum are the most common Ureaplasma species causing repeated or persistent infection of the urogenital tract. The host can mobilize innate and adaptive immunity to defend and eliminate pathogens. However, under certain conditions, the host's immune protection cannot completely clear Ureaplasma species. Ureaplasma species have evolved a complex and sophisticated escape mechanism in the long-term defense against host immune protection. This article summarizes the research progress on Ureaplasma species' immune escape mechanism from several aspects such as evading host autophagy mechanism, antagonizing host nutritional immunity and regulating host cell gene expression.
