Title: Validation of an Aptima-format Finnish new variant of Chlamydia trachomatis (FI-nvCT) surveillance assay, 2019 Cord-id: 6fdrssr8 Document date: 2020_2_6
ID: 6fdrssr8
Snippet: The Finnish new variant of Chlamydia trachomatis (FI-nvCT) is escaping diagnostics in Finland, Norway and Sweden. We have developed and validated an Aptima-format nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) designed specifically to detect the FI-nvCT. This NAAT has high sensitivity (100%) and specificity (100%) for the FI-nvCT strain, enabling further investigation of the geographic distribution, prevalence and transmission of this diagnostic-escape mutant in screening populations in Europe.
