Abstract
- We evaluated the BD Viper LT System for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae using samples collected from symptomatic patients that included urine, vaginal swabs, and cervical samples in liquid-based cytology media. Results were compared with those obtained using the BD Viper XTR platform. The positive and negative percent agreements for all sample types were at least 95.8% and at least 96.4% for chlamydia and gonorrhea and at least 95.0% when both organisms were present, respectively. This medium throughput system performs well compared with a high-throughput platform and may offer smaller health care facilities the opportunity to test for these infections locally.
