Rapid Detection of <i>Mycoplasma genitalium</i> , <i>Mycoplasma hominis</i> , <i>Ureaplasma parvum</i> , and <i>Ureaplasma urealyticum</i> Organisms in Genitourinary Samples by PCR-Microtiter Plate Hybridization Assay

Abstract excerpt

We present a method for detecting the presence of Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma parvum, and Ureaplasma urealyticum organisms, which are thought to be associated with nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) and other genitourinary infections, in clinical samples. This method consists of PCR amplification of a part of the 16S rRNA gene followed by 96-well microtiter plate hybridization assay using...
