Comparative evaluation of chlamydiazyme, PACE 2, and AMP-CT assays for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in endocervical specimens.
We conducted a comparative evaluation of the Chlamydiazyme (Abbott Laboratories), PACE 2 (Gen-Probe), and AMP-CT (Gen-Probe) assays for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in endocervical samples. Specimens from 787 females were included in the study. The sensitivities of the PACE 2 and Chlamydiazyme assays in comparison to the results of the AMP-CT assay were 79.3 and 63.4%, respectively. T...

متن کاملEvaluation of a nonisotopic probe for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in endocervical specimens.
A nonisotopic probe (Gen-Probe PACE; Gen-Probe, Inc., San Diego, Calif.) for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in endocervical specimens was evaluated in 344 women attending a dysplasia clinic or an obstetrics clinic and 158 women who visited an emergency room. For each patient, the probe, a tissue cell culture, and a direct immunofluorescent-antibody test (DFA; MicroTrak; Syva Co., Palo Alto,...
متن کاملEvaluation of the digene hybrid capture II CT-ID test for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in endocervical specimens.
The performance characteristics of the new signal amplification-based Hybrid Capture (HC) II CT-ID test system (Digene, Silver Spring, Md.) with endocervical specimens were compared to those of tissue culture and PCR (AMPLICOR CT PCR; Roche Molecular Systems, Branchburg, N.J.) for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in 587 women. HC II CT-ID identified 62 of 65 confirmed C. trachomatis-positive ...
