Abstract
Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) are the most common bacteria
involved in sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In France, combined screening
for CT and NG using nucleic acid amplification tests is recommended in populations
that are considered at risk. However, no data have been published about victims of
sexual assaults. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the usefulness
of real-time PCR for the rapid detection of CT and NG genomic DNA, and the prevalence
of CT/NG infections in a sample of sexual assault victims examined at a department
of forensic medicine.
