Mycoplasma hominis NAA

Panels that include this biomarker

• Genital Mycoplasma Profile, NAA, Swab 180089

  3 analytes · Swab · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 4 days

  Method and collection

  Method

  Nucleic acid amplification (NAA)

  Collection

  Vaginal swab: Collect vaginal fluid sample using the Gen-Probe® Aptima® swab by contacting the swab to the lower third of the vaginal wall and rotating the swab for 10 to 30 seconds to absorb fluid. Immediately place the swab into the transport tube and carefully break the swab shaft against the side of the tube. Tightly screw on the cap. Endocervical swab: Remove excess mucus from the cervical os and surrounding mucosa using the cleaning swab (white-shaft swab in the package with red printing). Discard this swab. Insert the specimen collection swab (blue-shaft swab in the package with green printing) into the endocervical canal. Gently rotate the swab clockwise for 10 to 30 seconds in the endocervical canal to ensure adequate sampling. Withdraw the swab carefully; avoid contact with the vaginal mucosa. Remove the cap from the swab specimen transport tube and immediately place the specimen collection swab into the transport tube. Carefully break the swab shaft at the scoreline; use care to avoid splashing of the contents. Recap the swab specimen transport tube tightly. Male urethral swab: The patient should not have urinated for at least one hour prior to specimen collection. Insert the specimen collection swab (blue-shaft swab in the package with the green printing) 2 to 4 cm into the urethra. Gently rotate the swab clockwise for two to three seconds in the urethra to ensure adequate sampling. Withdraw the swab carefully. Remove the cap from the swab specimen transport tube and immediately place the specimen collection swab into the specimen transport tube. Carefully break the swab shaft at the scoreline; use care to avoid splashing of contents. Recap the swab specimen transport tube tightly.

• Genital Mycoplasma Profile, NAA, Urine 180040

  3 analytes · Urine · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 4 days

  Method and collection

  Method

  Nucleic acid amplification (NAA)

  Preparation

  The patient should not have urinated for at least one hour prior to specimen collection.

  Collection

  Urine specimen: The patient should not have urinated for at least one hour prior to specimen collection. Direct patient to provide a first-catch urine (approximately 20-30 mL of the initial urine stream) into a urine collection cup free of any preservatives. Collection of larger volumes of urine may result in specimen dilution that may reduce test sensitivity; lesser volumes may not adequately rinse organisms into the specimen. Female patients should not cleanse the labial area prior to providing the specimen. Add urine to the Aptima® Combo 2 urine collection device. The final volume must be between the two black lines on the device (about 2 mL).

  Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction

  Preparation

  Male urine: Patient should not have urinated within one hour prior to collection.

  Collection

  Vaginal swabs: Follow instructions in the APTIMA® Vaginal Swab Collection Kit or Multitest Collection Kit (orange label). Male urethral swabs: Follow instructions in the APTIMA® Unisex Swab Specimen Collection Kit (white label). Swab specimen collection kit (orange or white label). Excess mucus should be removed prior to sampling.
