Chlamydia trachomatis

The main causative agents of urogenital infections (sexually transmitted infections) are: Treponema pallidum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Trichomonas vaginalis and Mycoplasma genitallium. The role of these infectious agents in the development of urogenital tract diseases has been proven and now their diagnosis via qualitative methods is beyond question.

PCR method enables to:

•  Identify the etiology of the infection;

• Maintain control over the infection;

• Assess the relative (compared with normal flora) amount of microorganisms, which is important for opportunistic pathogens that cause pathology only under certain conditions (increased concentration due to lower amount of normal flora);

• Evaluate treatment effectiveness

In accordance with CDC Guidelines, European guideline for the management of Chlamydia trachomatis infections, and Treatment Guidelines for sexually transmitted diseases, only PCR-based diagnostics can be recommended for C. trachomatis detection.

The Chlamydia trachomatis Real-Time PCR Detection Kit is in vitro DNA test, which is intended for the specific identification of Chlamydia trachomatis in human biological samples.
