Abstract:
We compared the performance of the Aptima® Bacterial Vaginosis Assay to the Seegene Allplex™ Vaginitis Screening Assay for the detection of BV. Among 157 patient samples, the overall percentage agreement (OPA) between assays was 92.1 % (95 % CI: 86.3-95.7) with a positive and negative percentage agreement of 82.7 % and 100 %, respectively.
