Test Includes

Chlamydia trachomatis, amplified DNA probe

Chlamydia trachomatis, detected through an amplified DNA probe, refers to a molecular diagnostic test that identifies the presence of the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. This test amplifies the genetic material of the bacterium to confirm infection and is used to diagnose chlamydial infections.

Understanding Results

A positive result indicates infection. If this test comes back positive, you should follow up with a health care provider for appropriate antibiotics. Certain public health agencies require notification when this test is positive. They use this information to track emerging trends in infectious disease.
