Infection by sexually transmitted microorganisms has been associated with vaginitis, spontaneous abortions, urethritis, infertility, etc. We investigate the incidence of infection and coinfection for Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) in a population of women in Cordoba. The project has the approval from the HPUC CIEIS and it was approved by the Research and Teaching Committee from the HPUC for the retrospective samples analysis. A total of 323 samples of adult female patients from different health centers in the province of Córdoba were analyzed. Genomic DNA was extracted from cervical swabs and the detection of the three microorganisms was determined by PCR according to standardized protocols. MG infection was 6.7%, UU was 49.1% and CT 48.1%. The overall prevalence of coinfection with the 3 microorganisms was 2.7%. MG infection was found to be associated with CT (95% confidence interval= 1.61 to Infinity, p
