4 A symptom-specific approach to diagnosis of women s genital tract infections MySwab is powered by robust and reliable nucleic acid amplification methodology that you can trust. Our test menu is specifically designed to target the most common genital pathogens affecting women s health and sexually transmitted diseases, evaluated on a single Aptima swab. The MySwab approach is comprehensive, cost effective and reliable. Simplify collection with a single swab Gardnerella vaginalis Lactobacillus species C. abicans C. glabrata C. krusei C. tropicalis Sexually Transmitted Pathogens Chlamydia trachomatis Neisseria gonorrhoeae Trichomonas vaginalis Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2 Mycoplasma genitalium (available soon!)
