Genital Chlamydia infections
Abstract
The past decade has seen a breakthrough in laboratory methods for the diagnosis of chlamydial infections. Antigen detection methods have made screening for C. trachomatis available in most clinical laboratories. These methods are highlighted and evaluated. Current culture methods and the antibiotic susceptibility of C. trachomatis are also discussed.
