Use of gen-probe probe competition assay as a supplement to probes for direct detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in urogenital specimens.
The potential for development of a cost-effective protocol for selective use of the Gen-Probe probe competition assay (PCA) in conjunction with PACE 2 for direct detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in urogenital specimens that would not compromise patient care was investigated. To accomplish this, PCA data from testing performed over 12 months were retrospectively revie...
متن کاملNon-cultural detection of rectal and pharyngeal gonorrhoea by the Gen-Probe PACE 2 assay.
OBJECTIVE To assess the sensitivity and specificity of the Gen-Probe PACE 2 assay, which uses a chemiluminescent labelled single-stranded DNA probe to detect gonococcal ribosomal RNA (rRNA), for the non-cultural detection of rectal and pharyngeal gonorrhoea in homosexual men. SUBJECTS 161 homosexual men attending the Department of Genitourinary Medicine, Edinburgh Royal Infirmary during the l...
متن کاملEvaluation of culture and the Gen-Probe PACE 2 assay for detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis in endocervical specimens transported to a state health laboratory.
The Gen-Probe PACE 2 assay (Gen-Probe Inc., San Diego, Calif.) was compared with culture for the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in endocervical specimens that were mailed to the laboratory. During mail transport, the specimens were exposed to extremes of hot and cold weather for several days before arriving in the laboratory. Specimens on culture plates deteriorated during transport, as evi...
متن کاملComparison of Abbott LCx Chlamydia trachomatis assay with Gen-Probe PACE2 and culture.
In this study the LCx assay (a nucleic acid amplification assay) for Chlamydia trachomatis in endocervical samples was compared with the Gen-Probe PACE2 assay (a nucleic acid probe assay) for endocervical samples, and with endocervical culture. In addition, the efficacy of the LCx assay was determined for midstream clean-catch urine samples because it is often necessary to obtain such a sample ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Gen-Probe DNA probe for the detection of legionellae in culture.
A commercial DNA probe kit designed to detect rRNA from legionellae was evaluated for its ability to correctly discriminate between legionellae and non-legionellae taken from culture plates. The probe kit, made by the Gen-Probe Corp. (San Diego, Calif.), was radiolabeled with 125I, and probe bacterial RNA hybridization, detected in a simple one-tube system hybridization assay, was quantitated w...
