Detailed explanation-1: -NAATs find the genetic material (DNA) of gonorrhea germs. These tests are very accurate. They can be done on urine samples or samples of body fluid from the area where the infection is suspected.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gonorrhea nucleic acid amplification (NAAT) testing: This detects the genetic material (DNA) of the gonorrhea bacteria and is considered the preferred test for gonorrhea infection. This type of test can be performed on a urine sample or a swab taken from a site of potential infection.
