Abstract:
Urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis ( Ct) infection is a serious sexually transmitted disease worldwide. The early diagnosis and treatment of Ct infection is critical for disease control. This review summarized the progress in the development of methods for detecting Ct infection and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of various methods. The emerging omics techniques in recent years are expected to be new tools for the detection of Ct infection. It is necessary to develop the omics techniques into rapid and accurate point-of-care tests that can be carried out in various testing environments for more effective patient management and disease control.
