Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are very common, More than 1 million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day worldwide, the majority of which are asymptomatic. Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are common species that cause STDs and urogenital sexually transmitted diseases.
Ureaplasma urealyticum was first described in 1950 by Shepard, who noted minute colonies growing amid larger Mycoplasma colonies in specimens taken from the urethra and urine of men with nongonococcal urethritis. These bacteria were initially called “T-strain” Mycoplasma because of their tiny colony size. Urease production led to the name Ureaplasma urealyticum.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae, also known as gonococcus (singular), or gonococci (plural), is a species of Gram-negative diplococci bacteria isolated by Albert Neisser in 1879. It causes the sexually transmitted genitourinary infection gonorrhea as well as other forms of gonococcal disease including disseminated gonococcemia, septicarthritis, and gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum.
Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. Anyone can get chlamydia. It often doesn't cause symptoms, so people may not know that they have it. Antibiotics can cure it. But if it's not treated, chlamydia can cause serious health problems.
Currently, laboratory tests for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma urealyticum mainly include bacterial culture methods, immunological tests and nucleic acid tests. Laboratory operators must undergo rigorous professional training in gene amplification or molecular biology methods and have relevant laboratory qualifications.
� Time-saving and labor-saving: One-time sampling can realize the determination of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG).
