Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

Duplicα RealTime Neisseria gonorrhoeae 2nd Generation Detection Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) DNA, by Real-Time PCR.

Overview

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is responsible for the Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Gonorrhoea. Gonorrhoea is a serious public health problem and is the most commonly reported infectious disease. Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a species of Gram-negative kidney bacteria most frequently spread during sexual contact. However, it can also be transmitted from the mother’s genital tract to the newborn during birth. In women, the cervix is the most common site of Gonorrhoea, resulting in endocervicitis and urethritis, which can be complicated by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). In men, Gonorrhoea causes anterior urethritis.
