At present, there is insufficient evidence from clinical trials to determine whether antibiotic treatment of Ureaplasma has any influence on the development of BPD and its comorbidities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Histologic evidence of chorioamnionitis was present in all 10 placentas and histologic evidence of pneumonia was present in all 9 fetuses. [asmscience.org]

Respiratory infections caused primarily by M pneumoniae are usually transmitted through respiratory aerosols. [emedicine.com]
Infection with U. urealyticum in pregnancy and birth can be complicated by chorioamnionitis, stillbirth, premature birth, and, in the perinatal period, pneumonia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and meningitis. [en.wikipedia.org]
