Not recommended
Less sensitive than Nucleic-acid amplification tests (NAAT) - Clinical Significance:
Refer to:
- Reference Range:
Positive: Presence of N. gonorrhoeae by nucleic acid probe.
Negative: Absence of N. gonorrhoeae by nucleic acid probe.Interpretive Data:
Nucleic-acid amplification tests (NAAT) are superior to direct DNA probe testing for detection of Neisseria gonorrhoea. For NAAT, refer to Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, by Nucleic Acid Amplification, Swab (21050) or Neisseria gonorrhoeae, by Nucleic Acid Amplification, Swab (21052). - Day Run:
Sun-Sat (daily) - Time Reported:
2-3 days - Test Type:
INFECTIOUS ORGANISM
