Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae became available in the early 1990s. Although offering several advantages over traditional detection methods, N. gonorrhoeae NAATs do have some limitations.

The use of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) has been shown to provide enhanced diagnosis of gonorrhoea in female patients. However, it is recommended that an on-going assessment of the test assays should be performed to check for any probable sequence variation occurring in the targeted region.

2014年3月14日 · Laboratories should use NAATs to detect chlamydia and gonorrhea except in cases of child sexual assault involving boys and rectal and oropharyngeal infections in prepubescent girls and when evaluating a potential gonorrhea treatment failure, in which case culture and susceptibility testing might be required.

Nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) is the recommended method for initial screening or testing for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections. Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) culture is recommended plus NAAT when suspecting antimicrobial resistance, test of cure, symptomatic patients, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID ...

2020年3月11日 · The diagnosis of gonorrhoea is established by the detection of N. gonorrhoeae at an infected site, either by nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) or by culture. The approach and method used to test for gonorrhoea will be influenced by the clinical setting, storage and transport system to the laboratory, local prevalence of infection and the ...

Gonorrhoea is detected in your sample by measuring the genetic material of the bacteria using a technique called nucleic acid amplification. The test is very sensitive and can detect very small amounts of the bacteria. NAATs are the only recommended test …

NAATs are the most common gonorrhoea test used in Australia. Gonococcal culture has high specificity and allows for antibiotic susceptibility testing but is much less sensitive than NAAT. Culture samples should be obtained from all infected sites at the time of treatment to determine antibiotic susceptibility.

Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAATs) allow joint Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis testing in the community. They have now been in widespread use for over 10 years and sensitivity and specificity are very high. NAATs do not routinely provide organism antibiotic sensitivities for gonorrhoea (although we are on the threshold of
