Clinical Validation of a Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of Neisseria gonorrheae porA Pseudogene Versus Culture Techniques
1 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Diagnosing Neisseria gonorrheae using nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) might increase the sensitivity, compared to cultivation. However, using NAATs has also been problematic mainly due to the close genetic relationships between different Neisseria species, resulting in false positive diagnoses. This study was conducted to clinically validate a previously published real-time polymerase chain...
