For C. trachomatis , the sensitivity of C6800 compared to m2000 was 100 % (95 % confidence interval [CI], 97.5 to 100 %), the specificity was 99.1 % (95 % CI, 98.0 to 99.7 %). For N. gonorrhoeae , the sensitivity of the C6800 compared to m2000 was 100 % (95 % CI, 90.5 to 100 %), whereas the specificity was 99.7 % (95 % CI, 98.9 to 99.9 %). The C6800 CT/NG assay appears to perform with great accuracy the detection of C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae ., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.000909
