DiAGSure® Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Detection Assay (Multiplex, TaqMan Based)

Catalog No.: GDQ3004-20R, GDQ3004-50R, GDQ3004-100R
Intent to use:
The DiAGSure® Mycoplasma pneumoniae Detection Kit is a real-time PCR assay designed for the specific and sensitive detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae—a major cause of atypical pneumonia, especially in children, adolescents, and young adults. Infections often present with nonspecific respiratory symptoms like persistent dry cough, sore throat, and low-grade fever, making clinical differentiation from viral illnesses challenging. Additionally, M. pneumoniae can cause extrapulmonary complications such as encephalitis, dermatologic eruptions, and hemolytic anemia. Accurate diagnosis is essential for guiding effective macrolide or tetracycline-based therapy and reducing unnecessary antibiotic use. The DiAGSure® assay detects bacterial DNA directly from respiratory specimens with high sensitivity and specificity, facilitating early diagnosis and helping prevent outbreaks in schools, dormitories, and community healthcare settings. It plays a critical role in managing respiratory illnesses where traditional culture or serology methods may fall short.
