Detection of human IgG antibodies against Mycoplasma genitalium using a recombinant MG075 antigen.

The article discusses the development of a serological assay to detect human IgG antibodies against Mycoplasma genitalium, a sexually transmitted pathogen that can cause reproductive tract diseases. The assay achieved a sensitivity of 87.1% and a specificity of 95.2%, distinguishing between M. genitalium and the closely related pathogen M. pneumoniae. This tool will help researchers better understand the relationship between M. genitalium infections and reproductive health complications. [Extracted from the article]
