The Detection Method
Determining the presence of infectious agent’s DNA with the help of the PCR (polimerase chain reaction) technique
In contrast to microbiological methods that are based on cultivating live infection agent the antibacterial therapy start still makes it possible to establish the genetic material of infectious agent.
It is possible to check the effectivity of the method of treatment by repeating the test only a fortnight after the end of the antibacterial therapy, no sooner.
To check the effectivity of the therapy it is possible to determine every infection agent separately and in different combinations.

The smear is taken by the doctor (urologist or gynecologist or general medical practitioner). To take the smear there must be a special “brush “, or tampon with special transport solution.
Urine for sexually transmitted diseases diagnostic using PCR technique
Collect the urine midstream portion into a sterile container (available at the lab or drug store), the same way as collecting urine for clinical investigation (strips and microscopy). Within two hours it has to be transported to the lab, in case it takes longer, keep it in the fridge (not in the freezer). The sample is to be brought to the lab on the same day.
