  • Title: Evaluation of two commercial procedures for rapid identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae using a reference panel of antigenically diverse gonococci.
    Author: Boehm DM, Bernhardt M, Kurzynski TA, Pennell DR, Schell RF.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1990 Sep; 28(9):2099-100. PubMed ID: 2121792.
    Abstract:
    Two commercial tests for the rapid identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were evaluated. Two hundred seventy-nine organisms were tested, including 202 strains of N. gonorrhoeae. The Syva MicroTrak test results were less subjective but required a fluorescence microscope. The Phadebact Monoclonal GC OMNI Test required modification of the manufacturer's interpretive instructions in order to avoid cross-reactions, but it was a practical test. Specificities of both tests were 100%. Sensitivities of the Phadebact Monoclonal GC OMNI and Syva MicroTrak tests were 100% and approximately 100%, respectively.
