1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
In Brief Background Mycoplasma genitalium is associated with, and could be the cause of, idiopathic cases of urethritis, endometritis, and cervicitis. Further epidemiologic studies on this organism are needed, but currently used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays are labor-intensive and culture is insensitive. Goal The goal was to develop and evaluate a microwell-plate-based PCR assay for M. genitalium. Study...
