Abstract
Use of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), such as strand displacement assay (SDA), for the detection of gonococcal infection in low prevalence populations is controversial because of the likelihood of false positive results. Use of supplementary NAATs with alternative target sites has been recommended for confirmation of primary NAAT results.
