摘要
Compositions and methods for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are provided. The present invention also provides methods and compositions for screening for infection/inflammation based on genomic copy number. Described herein is a method that entails assaying a sample obtained from the urogenital tract of the mammal for an indicator of genomic copy number, wherein a genomic copy number level that is higher than a control genomic copy number level is indicative of the presence of infection or inflammation of the urogenital tract. Also described in a kit of the invention that includes a primer and/or probe for detecting or sequencing an indicator of genomic copy number, wherein the indicator of genomic copy number comprises a nucleic acid sequence that is expected to be present in the genome of the mammal in one or two copies; and a primer and/or probe for detecting or sequencing a nucleic acid sequence that is indicative of a pathogen that infects the urogenital tract or a miRNA correlated with inflammation.
