Order Mycoplasma Tests (Blood & Urine)Mycoplasma testing examines blood and urine samples for evidence of Mycoplasma species, a group of very small bacteria that lack a cell wall. Because these organisms can colonize the respiratory and urogenital tracts, laboratory detection helps clarify whether a current infection is present and which organism is involved.
About Mycoplasma Tests (Blood & Urine) in Berkeley
Mycoplasma Tests (Blood & Urine) are laboratory methods used to detect Mycoplasma bacteria or the immune response they provoke.
Blood testing typically relies on serology, which measures antibodies such as IgM and IgG produced against Mycoplasma species. A rising or elevated antibody level can suggest recent or ongoing exposure, while a single result is interpreted alongside symptoms and timing.
Urine testing may use nucleic acid amplification to detect Mycoplasma genetic material directly. This approach can identify the organism itself rather than the body's response, and it is often paired with blood serology for a more complete picture.
Results are reported according to the method used: antibody titers or index values for serology, and detected or not detected for molecular assays. Turnaround is generally one to three business days, and preparation follows the laboratory's instructions.
