Evaluation 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 ...
متن کاملAbility of the digene hybrid capture II test to identify Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in cervical specimens.
The Digene Hybrid Capture II (HCII CT/GC) test is a combination test designed to detect Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in a single specimen. It is a nucleic acid hybridization test which uses signal amplification to increase sensitivity. We compared its performance to that of culture on cervical specimens from 1,370 women. Direct fluorescent-antibody assay was used to resolve d...
متن کاملGenotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis from endocervical specimens in Shiraz, Iran
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and distribution of Chlamydia trachomatisgenotypes in Shiraz, Iran. Two hundred twelve cervical swab samples were collected from women attendingShahid Motahari Polyclinic in Shiraz, Iran. The endocervical specimens were screened for C. trachomatis byplasmid PCR. Genotyping was performed in C. trachomatis-positive samples by nested PCR ...
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 کاملComparative 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...
