Comparison of Seegene AnyPlexTMII STI-7e with standard-of-care diagnostic methods for the detection of Mycoplasma genitalium, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis

Abstract

The AnyPlexTM II STI-7e panel assay (Seegene) detects seven sexually transmitted organisms (Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium, M. hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, U. parvum, and Trichomonas vaginalis). This study compared the performance of AnyPlexTM II STI-7e with standard-of-care diagnostic methods. Samples (cervical or vaginal swabs, or urine) from 1330 women were tested on standard-of-care assays; 83/1318 (6.3%) tested positive for M. genitalium (ResistancePlus® MG), 99/1317 (7.5%) positive for C. trachomatis and 11/1316 (0.8%) positive for N. gonorrhoeae (Hologic® Aptima Combo 2®), and 6/689 (0.9%) positive for T. vaginalis (wet mount microscopy).
