Order Mycoplasma Genitalium (MG, Mgen) Urine TestMycoplasma genitalium, often shortened to M. genitalium or Mgen, is a bacterium that can be transmitted through sexual contact. It is recognized as a distinct sexually transmitted infection and is sometimes described as producing symptoms that overlap with those of chlamydia and gonorrhea, which can make clinical suspicion alone an unreliable guide. Testing is therefore the way to establish whether this organism is present.
About Mycoplasma Genitalium (MG, Mgen) Urine Test in Normal
A urine-based test for Mycoplasma genitalium detects genetic material from the bacterium in a urine sample.
The test works by looking for the DNA of Mycoplasma genitalium using a nucleic acid amplification method, a technique that copies and detects even small amounts of the organism's genetic material. Because the bacterium can be present without causing noticeable symptoms, a laboratory result is often the only way to know whether it is there.
Collecting a urine sample is straightforward, but the timing of collection matters for accuracy. Many laboratories ask that the sample come from the first part of the urine stream, sometimes called a first-catch specimen, because that portion is most likely to carry organisms from the urethra. Following the collection instructions provided with the test helps reduce the chance of an inconclusive result.
Mycoplasma genitalium is not the same organism as the mycoplasmas that sometimes appear as incidental findings in other contexts, and it should not be confused with them. A positive result indicates that the bacterium's genetic material was detected; a negative result indicates that it was not detected in the sample provided. Results are typically reported within a few business days.
