Complete diagnosis in one step
The increasing resistance of Ureaplasma spp. and M. hominis to current antibiotics requires the testing of new, better adapted antibiotics.
The MYCOPLASMA IST 3 strip enables the identification and enumeration of the Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma spp. In addition, 6 antibiotics can be tested:
