Mycoplasma/Ureaplasma Molecular Panel
MUPNL
Test Summary
This qualitative molecular assay uses Transcription‑Mediated
Amplification (TMA) for the detection of Mycoplasma genitalium and real‑time
PCR for the detection of Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma parvum, and Ureaplasma
urealyticum.
The Mycoplasma genitalium component of this panel utilizes an FDA‑cleared TMA‑based
assay. Detection of M. hominis, U. parvum, and U. urealyticum is performed
using a laboratory‑developed real‑time PCR assay. These laboratory‑developed
components were developed, and their analytical performance characteristics
were determined, by CompuNet Clinical Laboratories. The laboratory‑developed
portions of this assay have been validated pursuant to CLIA regulations and are
intended for clinical use
