Mycoplasma Pneumoniae
●Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a very small bacterium in the class Mollicutes. It is a human pathogen that causes the disease mycoplasma pneumonia, a form of atypical bacterial pneumonia related to cold agglutinin disease. M. pneumoniae is characterized by the absence of a peptidoglycan cell wall and resulting resistance to many antibacterial agents. The persistence of M. pneumoniae infections even after treatment is associated with its ability to mimic host cell surface composition.
●Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the causative agent of respiratory tract nfectious diseases and complication of other systems. There will be a symptom with headache, fever, dry cough, and muscle pain. People of all age groups can be infected while youth, middle-aged and children under 4 years old have a higher infection rate. 30% of the infected population may have a whole lung infection.
●In normal infection, MP-IgG can be detected as early as 1 week after infected, continue to rise very rapidly, peaking in about 2-4 weeks, decreasing gradually in 6 weeks, disappear in 2-3 months. Detection of MP-IgM/IgG antibody can diagnose MP infection in early stage.
Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgG/IgM Rapid Test Kit
●Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgG/IgM Rapid Test Kit is an enzyme-linked immunobinding assay for qualitative simultaneous detection oflgG/lgM antibodies to Mycoplasma preumoniae in human serum orplasma (EDTA, citrale, or heparin).

● Convenient and on-site testing: The portable nature of the test kit allows for testing to be conducted at the point of care, reducing the need for specimen transportation and providing immediate results.
Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Test Kit FAQs
What is the purpose of the Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgG/IgM Rapid Test Kit?
The test kit is used to detect the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies specific to Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. It aids in the diagnosis of current or past Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections.
How long does the test take to produce results?
The test typically provides results within 10-15 minutes, allowing for rapid diagnosis.
Can this test differentiate between recent and past infections?
Yes, the detection of both IgG and IgM antibodies allows for differentiation between recent (IgM positive) and past (IgM negative, IgG positive) Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections.
