CT/NG/MG Multiplex PCR kit

Detection of the three most important STI pathogens in a single reaction tube

This product diagnoses 3 pathogens from one sample in a run, diagnostics of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria ghonorroeae and Mycoplasma genitalium are performed. The PCR diagnosis focuses on the multicopy-sequence of 16S-rRNA for all three pathogens detected.

This product has a high sensitivity for detection of the porA mutant in neisseria ghonorroeae and for detection of the swedish variant of chlamydia trachomatis.

Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacteria that causes a sexually transmitted disease. The bacteria settles in the mucous membrames of the genitals, causing infections of the urethra, anus and in women the cervix. In men this bacteria can lead to epididymis or inflammation of the prostate. In women, this bacteria can lead to fallopian tube inflammation that can spread to the abdominal cavity, leading to pelvic inflamattory disease.

Mycoplasma genitalium can cause inflammation of the urethra in men, in women the bacteria can rarely cause inflammation of the urethra, cervix and fallopian tubes. Most infections with this bacterium are asymptotic. The diagnosis of mycoplasma genitalium is based on the direct detection of specific nucleic acid.
