What it measures
- Mycoplasma genitalium DNA — The test detects the bacterium's genetic material in urine, showing whether MG is present.
- Macrolide resistance markers — Some tests also check for changes in MG DNA linked to resistance to a common antibiotic class.
- Collection adequacy — Confirms the urine sample is suitable for testing, so results are reliable.
Preparation
No fasting is needed. For best results, collect urine at least one hour after last urinating, and follow any instructions from your clinician or lab about the collection method.
