Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Detection details
What Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Detection shows
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, a common sexually transmitted infection that often causes no symptoms but can lead to complications if untreated. This test uses a nucleic acid amplification method to look for the bacterium's genetic material in your urine or urogenital sample. A positive result indicates the bacterium is present and usually means infection that needs assessment and treatment, along with partner notification. A negative result means it was not found in that sample. The test only covers the site sampled, so throat or rectal infections need separate samples, and testing very soon after exposure may miss an infection.
Tests that include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Detection
Neisseria gonorrhea, Urine detects the presence of the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhea in urine samples. It is used to diagnose gonorrhea, a common sexually transmitted infection.
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Detection Looks for genetic material from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, in a urine or urogenital sample.
Neisseria gonorrhea, Urine detects the presence of the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhea in urine samples. It is used to diagnose gonorrhea, a common sexually transmitted infection.
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Detection Looks for genetic material from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, in a urine or urogenital sample.
Chlamydia/Gonorrhea, Urine is a diagnostic test that detects the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, two common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), using a urine sample. The test typically uses nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) for high sensitivity and accuracy. It is non-invasive and widely used for screening, especially in individuals who are sexually active or at increased risk of STIs.
- Chlamydia trachomatis, Detection Detects genetic material of Chlamydia trachomatis, a common sexually transmitted bacterium, in a urine or urogenital sample to test for infection.
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Detection Looks for genetic material from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, in a urine or urogenital sample.
- Trichomonas vaginalis, Detection Checks a urine sample for genetic material of Trichomonas vaginalis, a parasite that causes a common sexually transmitted infection.
C. trachomatis infections are the leading cause of sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. C. trachomatis is known to cause cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), epididymitis, and proctitis. It is also the most frequent cause of non-gonococcal urethritis in men. Among women, the consequences of Chlamydial infections are severe if left untreated. Approximately half of Chlamydial infections are asymptomatic. Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococci) is the causative agent of gonorrhea. In men, this disease generally results in anterior urethritis accompanied by purulent exudate. In women, the disease is most often found in the cervix, but the vagina and uterus may also be infected.
- Chlamydia trachomatis, Detection Detects genetic material of Chlamydia trachomatis, a common sexually transmitted bacterium, in a urine or urogenital sample to test for infection.
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Detection Looks for genetic material from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, in a urine or urogenital sample.
