Molecular genetic methods for diagnosis and characterisation of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae: impact on epidemiological surveillance and interventions.

Abstract excerpt

One of the mainstays in the prevention of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections is the availability of laboratory diagnostics with high sensitivity and specificity. Assays for diagnosis of C. trachomatis include cell culture and nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs). The major target sequences for C. trachomatis diagnosis by NAATs are located at the cryptic plasmid and the major target...
