  • Beschreibung: ABSTRACT The GeneXpert CT/NG assay (GeneXpert) and the Abbott m 2000 RealTi m e CT ( m 2000) assay were compared to Amplicor for detecting ocular Chlamydia trachomatis . Discordant specimens were tested by the Aptima CT assay. The m 2000 assay sensitivity was 100% (95% confidence interval [CI], 90% to 100%), and specificity was 98.46% (95% CI, 95.2% to 99.2%); GeneXpert sensitivity was 100% (95% CI, 90% to 100%), and specificity was 100% (95% CI, 98.1% to 100%). The m 2000 and GeneXpert assays appear to perform as well as the Amplicor assay.
