Aptima Combo 2 (AC2) Neisseria gonorrhoeae testing of 81,405 patients who were tested by culture and 14,666 who were AC2 tested for Chlamydia trachomatis detected 142 extra infections and confirmed 106 culture-positive samples (the positivity rate increased from 0.13 in testing by culture to 0.26 in testing by AC2). Retrievable AC2 positive samples were confirmed (98.5%) by an alternate AGC test.Entities:
