PathoFinder Gets CE Mark For Combined STD, Antibiotic-Resistance Test

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – PathoFinder said today that it has received CE marking for its RealAccurate TVMGres PCR Kit, a multiplex real-time PCR assay that enables the simultaneous detection of Trichomonas vaginalis or Mycoplasma genitalium in urine and vaginal samples. The test can also identify 23S rRNA mutations in M. genitalium that provide resistance to azithromycin, a first-line antibiotic.
