STI PLUS ELITe MGB®Kit

Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Trichomonas vaginalis are among the most common pathogens associated with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide. These infections are frequently asymptomatic, particularly in their early stages, facilitating ongoing transmission and delaying diagnosis. If left untreated, they can lead to serious complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

As these pathogens may cause similar clinical manifestations, accurate and simultaneous molecular detection is essential to support appropriate diagnosis and timely treatment. STI PLUS ELITe MGB® Kit is a qualitative multiplex nucleic acids Real-Time PCR assay for the detection and identification of the DNA of C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, M. genitalium, and T. vaginalis extracted from clinical specimens. The product is validated for use in singleplex (Chlamydia trachomatis/ Neisseria gonorrhoeae/ Trichomonas vaginalis), duplex (Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae), triplex (Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium and Trichomonas vaginalis) or quadruplex (Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium and Trichomonas vaginalis).

The assay is validated on ELITe InGenius® and ELITe BeGenius® instruments for urine and cervical-vaginal swab matrices.
