Description
A.F. Genital System is a 24-well system containing desiccated biochemical and antibiotic substrates for detection, presumptive
identification and susceptibility testing of microorganisms from urogenital specimens. The system also provides a semi-quantitative assessment of the presence of urogenital mycoplasmas, i.e. Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum. The system is inoculated with the suspension of the clinical sample and incubated at 36 ± 1°C. The test results are read after 24 hours of incubation and interpreted by assessing the change in color of the various wells and performing a microscopic examination.
Note: The species Ureaplasma urealyticum has been divided into two new species: Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum. They are considered together as Ureaplasma spp. when using this device and indicated as Uu.
