Abstract

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI). Currently, there are limited data on the bacterial load in both men and women and on both genital and extragenital sites. Therefore, we quantified N. gonorrhoeae bacterial loads in a large population of women, heterosexual men, and men who have sex with men (MSM) at three different anatomical sites. N. gonorrhoeae -positive samples ( n = 1265) of STI clinic consultations ( n = 944) were tested for N. gonorrhoeae with the Roche Cobas 4800 system, and quantification cycle ( Cq ) values were used as an inversely proportional measure for N. gonorrhoeae bacterial load after interpolation from a standard curve.
