We investigated prevalence of CT, NG, and MG infections and associated demographic, behavioral, and clinical factors in consecutive women attending a gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinic in Pelotas, Southern Brazil. Vaginal swab samples were prospectively obtained from asymptomatic and symptomatic women (n\u2009=\u2009498) from August 2015 to December 2016 and tested with Aptima Combo2 and Aptima M. genitalium assays (Hologic). The prevalence of CT, NG, and MG was 6.8% (34\/498), 1.0% (5\/498), and 4.2% (21\/498), respectively. Three (0.6%) cases of CT and NG co-infection and one (0.2%) case of CT and MG co-infection were identified. The risk factors associated with these bacterial STIs were youth (&lt;30\u2009years), no steady sexual partner, infection with additional STI, and lack of income. Bacterial STIs, particularly CT and MG, were prevalent among women, including pregnant women (60% of positive cases), in Pelotas, Brazil. Sensitive and specific diagnostic testing and early treatment are essential to control STIs, limit transmission chains, avoid future complications\/sequelae, and reduce health and cost burdens on the population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462419898982","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,20]],"date-time":"2020-03-20T02:10:55Z","timestamp":1584670255000},"page":"432-439","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Prevalence and risk factors associated with\n                    <i>Chlamydia trachomatis<\/i>\n                    ,\n                    <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/i>\n                    , and\n                    <i>Mycoplasma genitalium<\/i>\n                    among women in Pelotas, Southern Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"MF","family":"Silveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal and Child Department, School of Medicine, Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel), Pelotas, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MP","family":"Bruni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Post Graduate Program in Parasitology, Biology Institute, Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel), Pelotas, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Stauffert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal and Child Department, School of Medicine, Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel), Pelotas, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Golparian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"WHO Collaborating Centre for Gonorrhoea and other STIs, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health, \u00d6rebro University, \u00d6rebro, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1710-2081","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M","family":"Unemo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"WHO Collaborating Centre for Gonorrhoea and other STIs, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Health, \u00d6rebro University, \u00d6rebro, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462419898982","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrurol.2016.268"},{"key":"bibr2-0956462419898982","unstructured":"Brasil.
