Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Neisseria gonorrhoeae RNA detection test identifies the presence of N. gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea (also called GC). A "not detected" result is normal. "Detected" results indicate active gonorrhea infection requiring antibiotic treatment. This nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) is the gold standard for diagnosing gonorrhea and is more sensitive than culture methods.
