Relative to qPCR detection of Ureaplasma spp. infection across sample types and genders. The MYCO WELL D-ONE was most sensitive for the detection of Ureaplasma spp. infections in females (93.14%), particularly for swab samples (92.05%). Specificity and accuracy were highest for male (99.62% and 96.72%, respectively) and urine samples (99.29% and 96.36%, respectively)
