Mycoplasmas are a genus of Gram negative, aerobic, pathogenic bacteria that have been isolated from many animal species. They are members of the class Mollicutes, which contains approximately 200 known species.
They are unique among prokaryotes in that they lack a cell wall and are not susceptible to many commonly prescribed antibiotics, including beta-lactams.
The small genome size of Mycoplasma organisms are associated with reduced metabolic pathways such that they rely heavily on the nutrients afforded by the host environment.
N.B. genesig® has kits to detect specific types of mycoplasma and the handbooks for these kits contain further details specific to that individual pathogen.

The PCR Max qPCR Kit for Mycoplasma (Mycoplasma) genomes is designed for the in vitro quantification of Mycoplasma genomes. The kit is designed to have the broadest detection profile possible whilst remaining specific to the Mycoplasma genome.
The primers and probe sequences in this kit have 100% homology with a broad range of Mycoplasma sequences based on a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.
If you require further information, or have a specific question about the detection profile of this kit then please send an e.mail to help@pcrmax.com and our bioinformatics team will answer your question.
