Abstract: BACKGROUND: Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted pathogen, causing 25-35% of nongonococcal urethritis in males and linked to premature rupture of placental membranes in females. This pathogen is difficult to culture, requiring an alternative identification method for diagnosis. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a novel nucleic acid amplification technique that uses a set of 4 to 8 DNA primers, allowing for rapid target amplification and a viable detection method.
