Accurate and rapid identification of bacterial species from positive blood cultures with a DNA-based microarray platform: an observational study
Päivi Tissari,Alimuddin Zumla,Eveliina Tarkka,Sointu Mero,Laura E. Savolainen,Martti Vaara,Anne Aittakorpi,Sanna Laakso,Merja Lindfors,Heli Piiparinen,Minna Mäki,C Carder,Jim F. Huggett,Vanya Gant +13 more
TL;DR: Definitive identification of bacterial species with this microarray platform was highly sensitive, specific, and faster than was the gold-standard culture-based method.

Home screening for chlamydial genital infection: is it acceptable to young men and women?
TL;DR: Home screening for chlamydial infection is a potentially efficient method of reaching young people who may have little contact with health services, and men were at least as likely as women to respond to this screening approach.

Comparison of two methods of screening for genital chlamydial infection in women attending in general practice: cross sectional survey
Lucia Grun,Julia Tassano-Smith,C Carder,Anne M Johnson,Angela Robinson,Elizabeth Murray,Judith Stephenson,Andy Haines,Andrew Copas,G.L. Ridgway +9 more
TL;DR: Ligase chain reaction on urine samples performs at least as well as enzyme immunoassay on cervical specimens in this low prevalence population of asymptomatic women, and offers potential as a non-invasive screening tool.
Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection and the sexual behaviour of men who have sex with men
P Benn,Guy Rooney,C Carder,Mary Bomberger Brown,Simon Stevenson,Andrew Copas,Angela Robinson,G.L. Ridgway +7 more
TL;DR: Improved detection of C trachomatis and N gonorrhoeae using nucleic acid amplification tests has major public health implications for STI and possibly HIV transmission in this population of men.
