Evaluation of Abbott RealTime CT/NG Assay for Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Cervical Swabs from Female Sex Workers in China
BACKGROUND To evaluate the performance of the Abbott RealTime CT/NG assay for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) among female sex workers (FSWs) in China. METHODS Cervical swabs from 997 participants were blindly detected by the Abbott RealTime CT/NG assay on the automated m2000 molecular platform and Roche Cobas Amplicor CT/NG assay. Discrepant analysis we...
متن کاملComparison of the Abbott m2000 RealTime CT assay and the Cepheid GeneXpert CT/NG assay to the Roche Amplicor CT assay for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in ocular samples from Tanzania.
The GeneXpert CT/NG assay (GeneXpert) and the Abbott m2000 RealTime CT (m2000) assay were compared to Amplicor for detecting ocular Chlamydia trachomatis. Discordant specimens were tested by the Aptima CT assay. The m2000 assay sensitivity was 100% (95% confidence interval [CI], 90% to 100%), and specificity was 98.46% (95% CI, 95.2% to 99.2%); GeneXpert sensitivity was 100% (95% CI, 90% to 100...
متن کاملPerformance of the Abbott Real Time CT/NG assay in urines and cervico-vaginal samples from Senegal.
INTRODUCTION Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are the most common causes of sexually transmitted disease in Senegal and worldwide. Molecular techniques have become the standard for their detection, and due to the frequency of co-infections, these tests can detect both agents and can be used on urine samples, vaginal swabs, or endocervical samples. In developing countries, the use...

OBJECTIVES This study assessed the performances of the Presto CT-NG assay, the Lightmix Kit 480 HT CT/NG and the COBAS Amplicor for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae detection. DESIGN A cross-sectional study design. SETTING Izore, Centre for Diagnosing Infectious Diseases in Friesland, the Netherlands, tested samples sent from regional sexually transmitted infection (STI) outp...
متن کاملComparison of three commercially available amplification assays, AMP CT, LCx, and COBAS AMPLICOR, for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in first-void urine.
We compared the Gen-Probe transcription-mediated amplification assay (AMP CT), the Abbott LCx assay, and the Roche COBAS AMPLICOR assay for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in a mixed population in urine samples. First-void urine, urethral specimens, and cervical specimens in females were obtained from 1,000 patients (544 males and 456 females) visiting the outpatient sexually transmitted...
