The Xpert Xpress MVP test is intended to aid in the diagnosis of vaginal infections in women with a clinical presentation consistent with bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, or trichomoniasis. The Xpert Xpress MVP test utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of specific DNA targets and utilizes fluorogenic target-specific hybridization probes to detect and differentiate DNA from:

• Organisms associated with bacterial vaginosis (detected organisms not reported individually)
  • Atopobium spp. (Atopobium vaginae, Atopobium novel species CCUG 55226)
  • Bacterial Vaginosis-Associated Bacterium 2 (BVAB2)
  • Megasphaera-1
• Candida spp. (C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. dubliniensis, species not differentiated)
• Candida glabrata/Candida krusei (species not differentiated)
• Trichomonas vaginalis
