Resumo

AbstractDiagnosis of chlamydial and gonococcal infections is the foundation of most sexually transmitted infection control programs. Early detection and treatment of disease is essential for disruption of transmission. DNA-based assays have been shown to have the highest available sensitivity and specificity but are often time-consuming and technically demanding. COBAS Amplicor™ is an automated system that performs a combined chlamydia and gonorrhea diagnostic assay suitable for use in either public health or reference laboratories.Chlamydia trachomatisNeisseria gonorrhoeaesexually transmitted diseasessexually transmitted infectionsPCR
