Ureaplasma urealyticum parvum is a pathogenic mycoplasma localized in genito-urinary tracts, Ureaplasma urealyticum parvum is one of the smallest free living organisms and the only organism expressing human immuno-globulin A1 protease to decompose human protective antibody.

Lower respiratory infection is also very common for preterm infants and low birth weight baby. Which usually lead to bronco pulmonary dysplasia and congenital pneumonia, meningitis, and even death. MB antigen is considered as a major antigen of Ureaplasma parvum, it is preent in different clinical isolates.

MB antigen of Ureaplasma parvum serovar fused with GST, is expressed in E.Coli, having a Mw of 40kDa, and recognized by the specific IgM anf IgG to Ureaplasma parvum.
