Whole-genome enrichment and sequencing of Chlamydia trachomatisdirectly from clinical samples
BACKGROUND Chlamydia trachomatis is a pathogen of worldwide importance, causing more than 100 million cases of sexually transmitted infections annually. Whole-genome sequencing is a powerful high resolution tool that can be used to generate accurate data on bacterial population structure, phylogeography and mutations associated with antimicrobial resistance. The objective of this study was to p...
متن کاملSwabs (dry or collected in universal transport medium) and semen can be used for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis using the cobas 4800 system.
In this prospective study, the fully automated cobas 4800 CT/NG and the cobas TaqMan CT tests were compared for Chlamydia trachomatis detection in urine and in genital specimens collected with Copan flocked swabs in culture media. A protocol was also established for the highly sensitive detection of C. trachomatis in semen specimens using the cobas 4800 CT/NG test. A total of 708 consecutive ur...
متن کاملEvaluation of a new amplified enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in male urine, female endocervical swab, and patient obtained vaginal swab specimens.
AIMS To compare the performance of a new generation dual amplified enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with a molecular method for the diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis, using a range of urogenital samples, and to assess the reliability of testing self collected vaginal specimens compared with clinician collected vaginal specimens. METHODS Two population groups were tested. For the first population gro...
متن کاملUse of a reverse dot blot procedure to identify the presence of multiple serovars in Chlamydia trachomatis urogenital infection.
Epidemiologic research requires identification of Chlamydia trachomatis serovars and detection of mixed infection. Antibody-based serotyping is unworkable when specimens are urine or vaginal swabs. We developed a reverse dot blot (RDB) to screen for multiple serotypes in these specimens. RDB yielded the predicted results on all artificially mixed samples and on seven of eight clinically mixed s...
متن کاملPerformance of three nucleic acid amplification tests for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae by use of self-collected vaginal swabs obtained via an Internet-based screening program.
Use of self-obtained vaginal specimens processed by nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) has significantly increased the utilization of nontraditional locations for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae screening programs. One important emerging source of such venues includes home-based self-sampling kits available via the Internet. The objective of our study was to evaluate the p...
