Mobiluncus spp BY PCR

The Mobiluncus spp BY PCR is a molecular diagnostic test that detects DNA from Mobiluncus species, bacteria often associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV). The assay uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify even low levels of bacterial genetic material from a vaginal swab, offering higher sensitivity than conventional culture methods. Accurate detection of Mobiluncus spp helps clinicians distinguish BV-related dysbiosis from other causes of vaginal symptoms and supports targeted treatment decisions.

This test is suitable for women with abnormal vaginal discharge, recurrent or persistent BV, treatment failure after empirical therapy, or when clinical assessment suggests an altered vaginal microbiome. Offered as a lab-at-home service in Dubai, the Mobiluncus spp BY PCR combines discreet sample collection with laboratory-grade molecular accuracy and timely reporting to guide appropriate antimicrobial choices. Results should be reviewed by a healthcare professional to determine the best management plan.

• Mobiluncus spp DNA — Presence/Absence
• Cycle threshold (Ct) value
• Estimated bacterial load (semi-quantitative)

• Persistent or recurrent abnormal vaginal discharge
• Unusual or fishy vaginal odor suggestive of BV
• Symptoms after empirical treatment with persistent complaints
• During pregnancy with symptoms or prior history of preterm birth
• As part of a comprehensive urogenital infection workup

• High-sensitivity molecular detection of Mobiluncus spp
• Discreet at-home sample collection across Dubai
• Faster turnaround than referral clinic sampling
• Supports targeted antibiotic therapy and reduces empirical use
• Confidential electronic reporting with professional interpretation

• Vaginal swab sample (self-collected or collected by a trained professional)
• Do not douche or use vaginal creams, sprays, or tampons for 48 hours prior
• Avoid sexual intercourse for 24–48 hours before sample collection
• If on antibiotics or intravaginal medication, wait 48–72 hours after completion if possible
