TL;DR: The ‘Finnish new variant of Chlamydia trachomatis’ (FI-nvCT), escaping detection in the Aptima Combo 2 assay (AC2), is widespread across Norway and from June to August 2019, 84% of available AC2/Aptima CT discordant samples from five laboratories were confirmed as FI-NVCT.

TL;DR: A standardised, quality-assured WHO EGASP is established and 458 isolates were characterised, with associated epidemiological surveillance data, in 1.5 years, which by far exceed the minimum 100 isolates per year and country requested in the WHO Global GASP, to detect AMR levels with confidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Mycoplasma genitalium and Antibiotic Resistance-Associated Mutations in Patients at a Sexually Transmitted Infection Clinic in Iceland, and Comparison of the S-DiaMGTV and Aptima Mycoplasma genitalium Assays for Diagnosis
Ingibjorg Hilmarsdottir,Eva Mjöll Arnardóttir,Elísabet Reykdal Jóhannesdóttir,Freyja Valsdóttir,Daniel Golparian,Ronza Hadad,Hannes Bjarki Vigfússon,Magnus Unemo +7 more
TL;DR: The diagnostic performance of the CE/in vitro diagnosis (IVD)-marked S-DiaMGTV (Diagenode Diagnostics) versus the U.S. FDA/CE/IVD-approved Aptima MG (AMG; Hologic) for M. genitalium detection was evaluated for the first time in Iceland and found the significantly higher sensitivity of AMG over that of S- Dia MGTV can have important clinical implications.
Book ChapterDOI
Prediction of Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations of Antimicrobials for Neisseria gonorrhoeae Using Whole-Genome Sequencing.
TL;DR: It can be possible to predict antimicrobial minimum inhibitory concentrations for Neisseria gonorrhoeae using sequencing data, for many antimicrobials within one or two MIC doubling dilutions of the phenotypic value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostics, surveillance and management of sexually transmitted infections in Europe have to be improved: lessons from the European Conference of National Strategies for Chlamydia Trachomatis and Human Papillomavirus (NSCP conference) in Latvia, 2011
TL;DR: There is an urgent need for the recognition of sexually transmitted infections as a serious public health problem in Europe and testing and diagnosis of STIs must be improved and enhanced.
