Mycoplasma Genitalium BY PCR

Mycoplasma Genitalium BY PCR is a nucleic acid amplification test that detects the genetic material of Mycoplasma genitalium from urine or genital swab samples. The test provides highly sensitive and specific identification of the pathogen, helping distinguish MG infection from other causes of urethritis, cervicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease. Rapid and accurate detection is important because Mycoplasma genitalium can cause persistent or recurrent symptoms and may require specific antibiotic management, particularly when resistance is present.

This PCR service is suitable for individuals with symptoms of sexually transmitted infections, partners of confirmed cases, or people with persistent genital symptoms after empirical treatment. Offered with discreet, home sample collection and confidential reporting across Dubai and the UAE, the test supports timely diagnosis and guides clinicians in selecting the most appropriate therapy, especially when resistance testing is included.

• Mycoplasma genitalium DNA (Qualitative PCR)
• 23S rRNA macrolide resistance-associated mutations
• Sample type recorded (first-void urine / vaginal or endocervical swab)

• Persistent or recurrent urethral or vaginal symptoms
• Abnormal genital discharge or post-coital bleeding
• Painful or burning urination (dysuria)
• After unprotected sexual contact with a known or suspected case
• Ongoing symptoms following standard STI treatment

• High-sensitivity PCR detection for accurate diagnosis
• Optional macrolide resistance detection to guide therapy
• Discreet home sample collection across Dubai & UAE
• Fast, confidential results to support timely treatment
• Reduces unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic use

• First-void urine (male) or self/clinician-collected vaginal/endocervical swab (female)
• Avoid urination for at least 1 hour before providing urine sample
• Refrain from sexual intercourse, douching, or intravaginal medication 24–48 hours prior
• Patient consent and age-appropriate eligibility as per UAE regulations (typically 18+ for independent testing)
