-- Il test Aptima® Mycoplasma genitalium, marcato CE sul sistema Panther®, identifica quest'infezione a trasmissione sessuale ad elevata prevalenza e spesso erroneamente diagnosticata --

MARLBOROUGH, Massachusetts, 16 Dicembre, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) ha annunciato oggi il lancio in Europa di Aptima Mycoplasma genitalium marcato CE, che va ad incrementare il crescente numero dei test molecolari disponibili sul sistema completamente automatico Panther.

"Fino a oggi mancava un test di amplificazione dell'acido nucleico (NAAT) completamente automatico dal campione al risultato per l'identificazione M. genitalium, un'infezione sessualmente trasmessa (IST) molto comune e frequentemente diagnosticata in modo errato," ha affermato Claus Egstrand, Presidente International di Hologic. "Oggi i medici ed i laboratori possono eseguire il test per questa infezione da sola o insieme ad altre IST da uno stesso campione."

Il M. genitalium è stato isolato nel 19801 e da allora molti studi ne hanno valutato la prevalenza, che può arrivare fino nel 6% degli uomini e delle donne che afferiscono alle cliniche per le IST.2 Questa infezione è associata a uretrite negli uomini e nelle donne e a cervicite e malattia infiammatoria pelvica nelle donne.3 I dati supportano inoltre una correlazione tra l'infezione da M. genitalium ed un aumento dell'infezione e della trasmissione dell'HIV-1.4 Fino ad oggi, l'identificazione di questo elusivo agente patogeno è stata difficile per di una sintomatologia simile a quella di altre IST e per le limitazioni associate agli approcci diagnostici tradizionali.

Un'identificazione accurata del M. genitalium è essenziale per un trattamento efficace in quanto l'infezione può diventare resistente agli antibiotici utilizzati per altre IST.4 Il test Aptima per il Mycoplasma genitalium sul sistema Panther consente al personale sanitario di diagnosticare e trattare questa IST in modo più efficace.

Il test Aptima per il Mycoplasma genitalium espande ulteriormente il menu dei test disponibili sul sistema Panther e si aggiunge ai test per HCV, HIV-1, HBV, HPV, clamidia, gonorrea e trichomonas. Il test può essere utilizzato per analizzare più tipi di campioni, tra cui tamponi vaginali, urinari, tamponi unisex o campioni ThinPrep® Pap test. I test sarà presto disponibile per l'uso con tamponi multitest per l'analisi di campioni meatali maschili.

I test Aptima Mycoplasma genitalium, Aptima HCV Quant Dx, Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx e Aptima HBV Quant non sono disponibili per la vendita negli Stati Uniti.
