Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Mycoplasma genitalium in first-void urine specimens by multiplex polymerase chain reaction
Abstract
Background: Sexually transmitted diseases are often caused by one or more microorganisms, and asymptomatic carriage and transmission may be of significance. Testing for more than one organism in a single assay could be a useful approach to laboratory diagnosis. Methods and Results: A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed that employed specific primers targeted to the 7.5-kb cryptic plasmid of Chlamydia trachomatis, the …
