Ureaplasma complex (U.urealyticum/U.parvum)

Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum and Mycoplasma hominis can be present in the urogenital tract together with non-opportunistic pathogens. These microorganisms are opportunistic organisms capable of causing a disease when exposed to a variety of endogenous and exogenous factors.

Experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2006 identified U.urealyticum as a potential pathogen of non-specific nongonococcal urethritis in men and possibly of pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID) in women.

PCR method enables to:

• Identify the etiology of the infection;

• Maintain control over the infection;

• Assess the relative (compared with normal flora) amount of microorganisms, which is important for opportunistic pathogens that cause pathology only under certain conditions (increased concentration due to lower amount of normal flora);

•  Evaluate treatment effectiveness

The Ureaplasma complex (U.urealyticum/U.parvum) Real-Time PCR Detection Kit is in vitro DNA test, which is intended for the specific identification of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum in human biological samples.
