- Useful for:
The Ureaplasma parvum test detects Ureaplasma parvum, a tiny bacterium belonging to the Mycoplasmataceae family that commonly lives as a harmless organism in the human urogenital tract. It is found in the normal vaginal flora of approximately 40–80% of healthy, asymptomatic individuals. As part of the body's normal microbiome, it is not classified as a sexually transmitted infection (STI), although it can be passed through sexual contact.
