Order Mycoplasma Tests (Blood & Urine)Mycoplasma testing examines blood and urine samples for evidence of infection by Mycoplasma species, a group of very small bacteria that lack a cell wall.

About Mycoplasma Tests (Blood & Urine) in Birmingham
Mycoplasma testing is used to detect current or recent infection with Mycoplasma bacteria through blood and urine specimens.
Mycoplasma species are unusual bacteria that lack a cell wall, which makes them resistant to certain antibiotics and difficult to visualize with standard Gram staining. Testing usually combines direct detection methods, such as nucleic acid amplification, with indirect methods that measure the immune response.
Blood testing commonly measures antibodies, including IgM and IgG, produced against Mycoplasma. IgM tends to appear earlier in an infection, while IgG can indicate past exposure or a later stage of the immune response. Urine testing may be used to detect Mycoplasma nucleic acid, particularly for organisms associated with genitourinary infection.
Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history, and other laboratory findings. A positive result does not by itself establish the site or severity of infection, and a negative result does not always exclude it, so clinicians use the full clinical picture when making decisions.
