ResistancePlus® MG
Enabling Resistance Guided Therapy
Detect Mycoplasma genitalium and macrolide resistance markers MgPa for M. genitalium detection, plus four 23S rRNA mutations (A2058T, A2058C, A2058G, A2059G) in a single-well multiplex qPCR test.
Why use ResistancePlus® MG?
Resistance to the macrolide treatment (Azithromycin) is of growing concern when managing M. genitalium (Mgen) infections. Guidelines around the world now call for the practice of Resistance Guided Therapy to guide appropriate treatment decisions, reduce potential for spreading infection among vulnerable populations, and support antibiotic stewardship.
Resistance Guided Therapy is clinically demonstrated to improve patient cure rate and overall patient management.
Detection of macrolide resistance can reduce time to cure, preventing ongoing transmission.
Tested on thousands of clinical samples, ResistancePlus® MG demonstrates excellent sensitivity and specificity.
