Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is a pathogenic microorganism between bacteria and virus. It is mainly transmitted through buccal and nasal mucus by the air causing respiratory diseases, with the highest incidence in children and adolescents. Respiratory infection has the manifestations of pharyngitis and bronchitis, with a few cases causing infection to the lung. Recently, incidence among infants and children is increasing, therefore, early diagnosis and treatment can decrease the exacerbation of acute pneumonia in children. The development of molecular biology also draws more attention to the fluorescence quantitative PCR technology for the detection of MP-DNA.
This diagnostic kit is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the detection of mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA in humansputum and throat swab. It is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of an MP infection and providing a molecular-diagnostics-based solution.
