A CE-marked multiplex real-time PCR reagent targeting Mycoplasma genitalium<\/em> and Trichomonas vaginalis<\/em> is adapted to the most used qPCR automated systems usually dedicated to C. trachomatis<\/em> and N. gonorrhoeae<\/em>. This new kit can dramatically improve the diagnosis process for patients with sexually transmitted infection. The mg219 gene was found to be in all strains of M. genitalium<\/em> and was highly conserved; it is coupled to the mgPa gene and T. vaginalis<\/em>. A quick and accurate detection of pathogens causing various STIs can solve a lot of problems with regard to partner contamination and supports adapted antibiotherapy regimens. Molecular diagnostics enables an easier and more reliable diagnosis than traditional methods. Mycoplasma genitalium<\/em> has been convincingly linked to non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) and nonchlamydial-non-gonococcal urethritis (NCNGU); association of M. genitalium<\/em> infection and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) aft er termination of pregnancy is an independent and strong risk factor for both cervicitis and PID. Therefore, M. genitalium<\/em> infection in women is associated with clinical manifestations and complications that in some instances are amenable to prevention and treatment.
