Rapid and accurate diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis in the urogenital tract by a dual-gene multiplex qPCR method.

Conclusion. In this study, a multiplex qPCR assay with high sensitivity and specificity for rapid (≤2.0 h) and accurate diagnosis of C. trachomatis was developed. The qPCR assay has the potential to be used as a routine diagnostic method in clinical microbiology laboratories.
