Nucleic acid amplification tests are now the tests of choice for diagnosing Chlamydia trachomatis infection. For the first time there are diagnostic tests for Chlamydia trachomatis that are more sensitive than tissue culture. Another major advantage is that they can be used with first-catch urine specimens and vaginal swabs. It is thus possible to test for genital chlamydial infection without using invasive specimen collection methods.
核酸扩增检测现在是诊断沙眼衣原体感染的首选检测方法。首次出现了比组织培养更敏感的沙眼衣原体诊断检测方法。另一个主要优点是它们可以用于首次采集的尿液标本和阴道拭子。因此，无需使用侵入性标本采集方法就可以检测生殖器衣原体感染。
