Abstract:

Objective To investigate the performance of domestic Chlamydia trachomatis nucleic acid test reagents,and to provide a reference for clinic.Methods For parallel comparison,7 kinds of domestic Chlamydia trachomatis nucleic acid test were selected to analyze the clinical swab samples with different levels of Chlamydia trachomatis. E and D reagents were used as reference. The DNA from 101 clinical swab samples were amplified,and the performance of various reagents were analyzed.Results The 2 reference reagants had consistent results for the 101 clinical swab samples. Compared to the results of the 2 reference reagents,the sensitivities for the other 5 reagents were 88.89%-100.00%,and the specificities were 97.59%-100.00%. There was difference for sensitivities between the other 5 reagents and the 2 reference reagents without statistical significance(P>0.05).Conclusions The 7 domestic reagents have different sensitivities,some reagents have poor performance for determining low-level samples,and the sensitivity and specificity for some reagents should be improved for the screening of Chlamydia trachomatis infection,further considering non-invasive samples.
