Sažetak
Molecular methods are a part of the routine
diagnostic algorithm for sexually transmitted infections. Molecular
diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections in routine clinical
laboratories is based on standardized amplifi cation assays.
The majority of assays are based on polymerase chain reactions
(PCR), real-time PCR, soluble hybridization, transcription-
-mediated amplifi cation, and strand displacement technology.
Molecular methods enable us to test a variety of biological
samples including cervical, vaginal, and urethral swabs, as well
as urine.
