This kit is used for in vitro qualitative detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) nucleic acid in human urine, female cervical swab, or male urethral swab samples.
Genital mycoplasmas are intracellular bacteria that live in urogenital mucosal epithelial cells in
humans. They are transmitted through direct contact, therefore they can be included in the category of sexually transmitted pathogens.

UU can be found in the vagina or cervix of approximately 40-80% of sexually mature women. It is suggested that UU may cause abnormal cervical cytopathology even though it does not cause cervicitis. Studies have shown that chronic mycoplasma infections can induce chromosomal changes that may lead
