Understanding Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are among the most common infectious conditions and are a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with 1 million new curable cases every day. STIs severely impact sexual and reproductive health and can also be transmitted to sexual partners and newborns. STIs cause sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis.

CT infection, the most common bacterial STI, causes several urogenital syndromes, including urethritis, epididymitis, prostatitis, and cervicitis.1 In some women, CT infections may ascend to the upper genital tract and become chronic, leading to long-term sequelae, such as reproductive complications including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy, tubal infertility, or inducing adverse pregnancy outcomes.2,3 CT infections are also associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer, HIV acquisition, and transmission.4 

Gonorrhea is the second most reported bacterial sexually transmitted infection in the United States. Urethral infections caused by NG can produce symptoms among men, but often not soon enough to prevent transmission to others.5 Among women, gonococcal infections are commonly asymptomatic or might not produce recognizable symptoms until complications have occurred.6

Seegene provides an extensive multiplex sexually transmitted infection (STI) test menu for use in research testing.

The Novaplex™ STI Essential Assay*, Novaplex™ Genital Ulcer Assay* and Novaplex™ CT/NG/MG/TV Assay* are multiplex, real-time RT-PCR assays that detect and identify 14 STI pathogens simultaneously.

Seegene offers two drug-resistance detection assays for M. genitalium. Both assays detect single DNA mutations that cause resistance as well as MG infection itself.  Both assays use exogenous IC for urine and endogenous IC for others. The Novaplex™ MG & AziR Assay* and the Novaplex™ MG & MoxiR Assay* are designed to be run together with the Novaplex™ CT/NG/MG/TV Assay*.

*Novaplex™ Assays are For Research Use Only. Not for Use in Diagnostic Procedures.
