About the test
PCR searches for the organism’s genetic material in a scraping specimen. Mycoplasma genitalium is a bacterium that may cause inflammation of the urethra and cervix.
The test is ordered when clinically indicated, particularly for persistent or recurrent symptoms. It does not determine antibiotic susceptibility unless resistance testing is ordered separately.
The scraping site should correspond to the purpose of the investigation. The result is assessed alongside symptoms and the results of other ordered tests.
