Description
Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium are three major bacteria involved in sexually transmitted infections (STI), and responsible for serious health outcomes. Left unidentified, these bacteria can cause similar diseases and similar complications including ectopic pregnancy and infertility. Simultaneous detection of C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae and M. genitalium with molecular testing methods is important to identify the right pathogen and provide the right treatment.
