Quick answer
Mycoplasma testing covers laboratory methods that detect mycoplasma bacteria, a group of very small organisms that lack a cell wall. Different species affect different parts of the body, from the respiratory tract to the urinary and genital tract. Depending on the suspected infection, testing may use blood, urine, or a swab. A healthcare provider chooses the appropriate test and interprets the result with the clinical picture.
What this test measures
Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that are unusually small and do not have a cell wall. Several species can infect humans, and the type of illness depends on the species. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is associated with respiratory infections, while other species are linked to urinary and genital conditions. Because they lack a cell wall, they behave differently from many other bacteria in the laboratory.
Testing methods vary by species and by the sample available. Respiratory infections may be assessed with a throat swab or respiratory sample, while genital infections are often tested with urine or a genital swab. Some tests use nucleic acid amplification to detect the organism's genetic material, and others measure antibodies in blood. Each method has a different window of detection.
A positive result depends on the method and the species being tested. Antibody tests can show past exposure as well as recent infection, and DNA tests detect the organism directly. Clinicians interpret mycoplasma results with symptoms, examination findings, and other tests. A qualified healthcare provider decides which test is appropriate and what the result means for a particular person.
