Sexually transmitted infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STI or STIs), formerly often referred to as Sexually transmitted diseases (STD or STDs), are among the most common infectious diseases worldwide, caused by a wide range of bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens. Left undiagnosed, STIs can lead to infertility, chronic pain, pregnancy complications, and increased HIV transmission risk. Rapid, sensitive detection is essential for timely treatment and public health control.
STI PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a reliable and specific detection of key STI pathogens in human samples, including Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Treponema pallidum, Trichomonas vaginalis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma parvum, Ureapasma urealyticum, Gardnerella vaginalis, Candida albicans, Atopobium vaginae, Candida glabrata, Enterobacteriaceae, Lactobacillus species, Pichia kudriavzevii (Candida krusei), Staphylococcus species, Streptococcus species, Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis. Other specific pathogens sometimes also considered to be STIs, such as Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), some hepatitis viruses (HBV) and Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be found in their own categories on this web. These molecular diagnostics tools offer accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked formats for diagnostic use and research use only (RUO) versions, these multiplex and singleplex panels support routine STI screening, syndromic testing, and specialized urogenital diagnostics from clinical samples.
