M assay

The M assay is a laboratory test used to detect and measure a specific component called the "M protein," often associated with certain bacterial infections like streptococcus. It helps identify the presence of the bacteria and assess the severity or stage of infection. By measuring the M protein levels, healthcare providers can diagnose infections more accurately, monitor treatment response, and determine prognosis. The assay is a valuable tool for ensuring precise diagnosis and guiding appropriate medical care.
