Urine specimens (115 samples) were received from sexual health clinics and tested using the Roche Cobas 4800 CT\/NG method. Concurrently, the urine samples were pipetted directly on to the sponge applicator of the UriSwab, simulating micturition, and the urine harvested from the UriSwab was tested using the Roche Cobas 4800 method. Of the 87 standard urine specimens that were C. trachomatis detected, 85 (98%) were also detected in the corresponding UriSwab specimen (sensitivity 97.7%, specificity 95.7%). Of the 34 standard specimens that were N. gonorrhoeae detected, 33 (97%) were also detected in the corresponding UriSwab specimen (sensitivity 97.1%, specificity 100%). The performance of the UriSwab in this trial was comparable with the testing of neat first-catch urine specimens for both C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462412472834","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,19]],"date-time":"2013-07-19T23:12:27Z","timestamp":1374275547000},"page":"477-480","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Use of the UriSwab collection device for testing of\n                    <i>Chlamydia trachomatis<\/i>\n                    and\n                    <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/i>\n                    : implications for a postal testing service"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"J","family":"McNicol","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology Queensland, Central Laboratory, Molecular Diagnostic Unit"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Debattista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexual Health & HIV Service, Metro North Health Service District, Brisbane, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.2008.tb01533.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/095646206779307577"},{"key":"bibr3-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/338268"},{"key":"bibr4-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007435-200211000-00006"},{"key":"bibr5-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.313.7066.1186"},{"key":"bibr6-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1783\/147118907781005083"},{"key":"bibr7-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/0956462991913286"},{"key":"bibr8-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.olq.0000200497.14326.fb"},{"key":"bibr9-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2807\/esm.08.09.00424-en"},{"key":"bibr10-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/sti.2005.016832"},{"key":"bibr11-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.37.4.976-980.1999"},{"key":"bibr12-0956462412472834","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/sti.2008.032607"},{"key":"bibr13-0956462412472834","volume-title":"Evaluation of the UriSwab Sponge Collection Device for the Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in Urine (Poster)","author":"Williams J","year":"2009"},{"key":"bibr14-0956462412472834","unstructured":"Turnbull L, Brosnikoff C, Rennie RP.\n                      Clinical Evaluation of a Preservative Impregnated Sponge for Transport of Urine Samples for Microbiological Culture (Poster) CACMID.\n                      Halifax, Nova Scotia, 14\u201318 March\n                      2007"},{"key":"bibr15-0956462412472834","unstructured":"McCarthy M.\n                      NAAT and a New Urine collection Device.\n                      IUSTI, Dubrovnik, Croatia, 11\u201314 October 2007"},{"key":"bibr16-0956462412472834","unstructured":"Bourbeau P, Swartz B.\n                      Comparative Evaluation of UriSwab Urine Collection Transport and Preservative and BD Vacutainer C&S Preservative Plus Plastic Tube for Preservation of Urine Specimens (Poster).\n                      ASM, Washington DC, USA , 2007"},{"key":"bibr17-0956462412472834","unstructured":"Cobas 4800 System, Operator's Manual, software version 1.0 CT\/NG tests, revisions P23.
