Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 04/17/09
Moncada J et al. - AC2 and SDA were far superior to culture for CT and GC detection in the rectum with both detecting at least twice as many infections. While the authors found self-collected rectal swabs from MSM are valid specimens, sensitivity with glans specimens was disappointing except in symptomatic GC. Self-collected glans may not be appropriate for CT and in low risk/asymptomatic populations for GC detection by AC2 and SDA, and the authors would not recommend its use based on these results.
