While nucleic acid amplification testing (NAATs), primarily polymerase chain reaction (PCR), is regarded as the gold standard for identifying these two pathogens, it usually takes a prolonged turnaround time and requires sophisticated equipment with considerable expense. In this study, we developed novel loop\u2010mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays for rapid detection (&lt;\u200930\u2009min) of GC and CT in clinical urine and swab specimens. We analysed 208 clinical samples with three different pre\u2010treatment techniques including heating inactivation, centrifugation, and DNA extraction. LAMP results were compared with clinical results from the FDA\u2010approved BD ProbeTec ET assay. After heating inactivation, LAMP detected merely 41% and 65% of BD\u2010identified GC\u2010 and CT\u2010positive samples, respectively. Introducing centrifugation as an affordable and rapid pre\u2010treatment step increased detection rates to 81% and 91% for GC and CT, respectively. DNA extraction further enhanced the detection rates to 96% and 95% for GC\u2010 and CT\u2010LAMP, respectively. All these LAMP assays exhibited clinical specificity of \u2265\u200998%, underscoring the specificity of the chosen target genes (the\n                    <jats:italic>porA<\/jats:italic>\n                    pesudogene for GC and the\n                    <jats:italic>ftsK<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene for CT). Discrepant samples were verified by real\u2010time PCR; results were consistent with our LAMP findings. The overall LAMP performance met the WHO criteria for sensitivity and specificity for GC\/CT point\u2010of\u2010care testing.\n
