What does the MGen test kit actually detect?
The infection has been usually associated with several urogenital disorders in both men and women and concerning sexual health when a person has unprotected sex. These bacteria cause genital diseases in a person and are transmitted by way of sexual contact, and therefore any infection caused by them are categorised under one umbrella and called as sexually transmitted diseases.
What are some of the types of diseases associated with it?
- Cancer of the Colon
- Gastric
- Lung
- Prostate and
- Renal
How can you get infected with it?
When you have unprotected sex, it can infect you. Most people can carry the infection without even knowing it, and this is because it does not usually show any symptoms of the infection. Simply meaning that it is easy to go unnoticed similar to chlamydia.
What symptoms do I look for?
As described above, because this infection usually does not present any symptoms. So the only way to know is by getting yourself tested by taking the 18 one SDI profile test. Though if this infection remains untreated for a long period of time, it can leave permanent long-term consequences like infertility, PID etc.

Sensitivity:
- The positive and negative coincidence rates in the kit’s positive and negative reference controls were 100%.
Specificity:
- Between the microorganisms, no cross reactivity was observed.
Accuracy:
Result/Outcome/Range –
- Positive/Negative/Inconclusive
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- QC/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Accuracy
It is actually the combination of two things senstivity and specificity variables which define accuracy of any specific diagnostic test. Sensitivity is the test ability to confirm a positive result, while specific city is its ability where it eliminates all negative results. Up to an accuracy of as much as 98.5% is taken into consideration by us to validate all our test.
Variables
The accuracy that this test result provides is highly dependent on several factors that cannot be controlled by our lab. Infection intensity, patient health, and quality of the sample which is dependent on the adherence to “home testing” procedures can all be factors that limit the results of the test. At all times though we make sure that our tests are extremely sensitive but, limitations such as a swab that is of poor quality will make it harder for the test to detect the presence of infection, because in this case only a few viral particles will be present. Given the same, we request that you very carefully read our information sheet that is provided to you with your sample collection kit to ensure a very high-quality sample.
Detection
The Mycoplasma PCR detection test can detect the presence of the Mycoplasma genitalium bacteria with great accuracy. This test is able to do so by using the PCR amplifying method and subsequently detecting the presence of pathogen in the sample.
Positive result
A test result is said to be positive when a particular sample is found to be infested with the presence of viral particles, in which case you must contact your healthcare provider for further treatment. We also provide a prescription through our website. It is also possible the Mycoplasma Genitalium bacteria does not present any symptoms of the disease, but that does not mean that you can’t be infectious to other persons.
Negative result
While a negative result is always reassuring, we advise that it is also critical to understand its significance, meaning that the test did not detect the presence of infection only for the time of testing. However, your result should always be thoroughly discussed with the healthcare provider, while properly assessing and considering your lifestyle sexual history. We also recommend that in cases where you are in contact with the person who has tested positive for the disease previously or starts to present symptoms, consistent with the disease, you should always contact your GP.

Some shared stories
So, what really happened in France with the sudden surge in cases.
Though, the actual complete data on undiagnosed pneumonia in childhood, especially in China, still continues to be incomplete. However, recently a significant and abnormal increase was recorded in recent few weeks in other Asian countries such as in Europe, specially in France where the infection has grown significantly by as much as 36% in children, and also in young people who are under the 15 years of age.
Recently, it was confirmed that across the elves, the responsible agent for all these cases was identified as pneumonia.
This bacteria is known to constantly mutate and is also a very common cause of community acquired pneumonia, which is also referred to CAP.
It is often referred to as a widespread pathogen that hasn’t circulated in epidemic session for the last 10 years. The recently a global phenomena has alarmed experts across the scientific community, which are the risk associated with antibiotic resistance.
Azithromycin is one of the most commonly used antibiotic for this particular type of pneumonia. However, no resistant rates are currently available in updated data. It will be correct to say that specially after COVID-19 pandemic due to the lack of circulation of the bacteria, sufficient information to measure them is unavailable.
The Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases – Tenon Hospital located in Paris announced in one of it’s recent statement as below.
The post pandemic immune gap has significantly increased respiratory infections in children across various countries, and this is a big risk because it exposes these children to contracting common infections like influenza.
Since, Mycoplasma pneumonia is noticed only to affect the children age group and does not affect the adult population. The experts strongly believe that a new pathogen is not circulating, but it is the old one only. This has also recently been confirmed by the scientific director of the renowned institute who knows that if there is an unknown germ there would definitely be a big increase in cases in every age group, and not just children because, this would make everyone equally immune.
However, since it has been rather very rare to identify such real outbreaks.
Mycoplasma test kits find some of them as pneumonia; pneumonia believes that the actual epidemic trend of these infections is mainly caused due to a simultaneous circulation of other existing seasonal viruses, and this was also confirmed by the Chinese authorities.
According to the general director of health prevention at the Ministry of Health, Francesco Vaia, Italy has no alarm. However, it is expected that our country will also see a significant increase in the cases of diseases such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis in the next few weeks. It therefore becomes necessary to continue careful surveillance using Mycoplasma kit and also consider implementing simple measures like use of mask in community can help prevent pneumonia.
The symptoms of pneumonia either bacterial or viral are similar to those of flu and also resemble those of Covid like fever, sore throat and fatigue. However, in the case of mycoplasma pneumonia, you will notice that the cough that you have will be deep and also persistent, and you will also face breathing problems, which can even be very serious.
Once borne, the bacterium persists, after the acute infection, in a long asymptomatic phase which can last weeks and months, during which what it will do is, it will pass from one percent to another, and this can be through either direct contact or through respiratory infected droplets. After this particular exposure, the incubation period is of approximately 23 days and accordingly the acquired immunity will be short.
What does it mean when the spread of infection within the family is around 90%?
This particular therapy is specific to the antibiotics only which do not act on the wall of the bacteria and because this is absent in mycoplasmas, and therefore Macrolides, tetracyclines or fluoroquinolone are put to use.
However, because many antibiotics cannot be administered right in the paediatric age. All antibiotics belonging to the category of macrolides are simply preferably just indicated. Though it is significant to note that all continents have shown resistance to macrolides and in some countries, this percentage is very high like China, where as many as 80% of the total subjects who were affected by pneumonia, did not even respond to the therapy.
Studies have also gone to show that those children who are also affected by this strain actually presented more severe symptoms.
One must ask why we cannot use other types of antibiotics. The simple answer is because it can increase the chances of additional multi resistance strains and therefore also introduce other common infections which will be difficult to treat.
