This test checks for different species of Mycoplasma. Mycoplasma refers to a genus of bacteria that are the smallest living cells known. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic. Several species are pathogenic in humans, including M. pneumoniae, which is an important cause of atypical pneumonia and other respiratory disorders, and M. genitalium, which is believed to be involved in pelvic inflammatory diseases.
Mycoplasma genitalium - M.genitalium is a small parasitic bacterium that lives on ciliated epithelial cells of the genital tract and is sexually transmitted. In women symptoms such as vaginal itching, burning while urinating, discharge, pain during intercourse may appear. In the long term, this infection is suspected to cause pelvic inflammatory disease and cervicitis. In men it causes urogenital tract disease.
Mycoplasma bovis - M.bovis is a bacteria-like organism that causes persistent, chronic infections in calves and cows. The clinical manifestations of M.bovis include mastitis in cows and arthritis and pneumonia in young animals, genital disorders, abscess, conjunctivitis, otitis, and meningitis. The mechanisms of the pathogenesis of M. bovis are still unknown, but it uses complex strategies to invade the host organism. It adheres to the neutrophils and the macrophages, persisting and multiplying on the surface of these cells.
Pathogens Tested
APM-040 : Mycoplasma bovis (This Assay includes the detection of Mycoplasma bovis only.)
APM-041 : Mycoplasma Species (This Assay includes the detection of Mycoplasma Species only. This Assay can detect many Mycoplasma species including Mycoplasma agassizii,Mycoplasma anatis, Mycoplasma anseris, Mycoplasma arginini,Mycoplasma arthritidis,Mycoplasma auris, Mycoplasma buccale, Mycoplasma canadense,Mycoplasma cloacale,Mycoplasma collis, Mycoplasma columborale, Mycoplasma cricetuli, Mycoplasma cynos,Mycoplasma falconis,Mycoplasma faucium, Mycoplasma felis, Mycoplasma gateae,Mycoplasma gypis, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma hyopharyngis, Mycoplasma hyorhinis,Mycoplasma hyosynoviae, Mycoplasma iguana, Mycoplasma lagogenitalium, Mycoplasma leonicaptivi, Mycoplasma molare, Mycoplasma mustelae, Mycoplasma neophronis,Mycoplasma neurolyticum, Mycoplasma orale, Mycoplasma phocicerebrale, Mycoplasma phocidae, Mycoplasma salivarium, Mycoplasma spumans, Mycoplasma timone, and Mycoplasma zalophi . The assay cannot detect M. pneumoniae, M. gallisepticum and M.pulmonis.
Samples should be transported at 4°C. Milk must be frozen after collection.
Turn Around Time (TAT)
Normal Turnaround time for pathogen Identification is within 5 working days. Urgent Samples will be reported within half of the minimum test period & will be Charged Double.
Samples delivered after 11:00 AM will be processed next working day unless urgent.
