Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the most common and insidious causes of community-acquired pneumonia worldwide. The absence of cell wall structure makes it inherently resistant to many antibiotics, and its slow-growing nature renders traditional culture-based methods unreliable, often delaying diagnosis by days or weeks. The bacterium spreads readily through respiratory aerosols and can exacerbate serious conditions including asthma, COPD, ARDS, and cardiovascular complications, making timely detection critical, particularly in children, teenagers, and other vulnerable populations.
The M. Pneumoniae-Q Real-Time PCR Kit from Genes2Me delivers sensitive, specific detection of M. pneumoniae DNA directly from nasopharyngeal fluid, sputum, and throat swabs. It provides dependable results quickly, empowering clinicians to make informed treatment decisions and helping prevent further community spread.
Genes2Me is a CE Marked molecular diagnostics company trusted by clinical laboratories across global markets. The M. Pneumoniae-Q Kit meets European conformity standards for in vitro diagnostic devices, validated to international benchmarks for accuracy, reliability, and safety.
The M. Pneumoniae-Q kit uses a single-tube real-time PCR design with highly specific primers and fluorescent probes for precise DNA amplification. M. pneumoniae DNA is detected in the FAM channel, while the HEX channel monitors an internal control to validate extraction and amplification in every run. Positive and negative controls are included to further ensure assay integrity and guard against contamination or procedural errors.
Atypical pneumonia caused by M. pneumoniae presents with non-specific symptoms that closely resemble viral respiratory infections, making clinical diagnosis unreliable on its own. Multiplex testing with a built-in internal control enables simultaneous pathogen detection and run validation, reducing the risk of false negatives and ensuring accurate, timely identification. This is especially important in outpatient and paediatric settings where rapid diagnosis directly influences antibiotic prescribing decisions.
Simultaneously detects M. pneumoniae DNA (FAM) and validates the run via internal control (HEX), safeguarding against extraction and amplification errors.
Detects low bacterial loads with confidence, enabling accurate identification even in early or subclinical infections.
Both controls are supplied in every kit, guaranteeing assay integrity and minimising the risk of contamination or experimental error.
Validated on RapiCycler 96, Bio-Rad CFX96, QuantStudio 5, and LightCycler 480.
Accepts nasopharyngeal fluid, sputum, and throat swabs, offering flexibility to suit different clinical collection protocols.
Pre-formulated reagents and clear amplification protocols ensure consistent, reproducible results with minimal setup time.
