Determine the association Between Chlamydia Trachomatis and Neisseriae Gonorrhoeae through molecular biology techniques in urine samples. The following study evaluated the association between Chlamydia Trachomatis (CT) and Neisseriae Gonorrhoeae (NG) using COBAS AMPLICOR CT/NG MOLECULAR SYSTEM technique in 35 women urine samples with a 23.9 year old average. 20 samples were positive to CT, showing a prevalence of 5.63%. Although, epidemiological studies have reported a relationship between Chlamydia Trachomatis infection and the ones caused by others microorganisms like Neisseriae Gonorrhoeae; this study didn’t find any association. Factors like kind of sample and the presence of inhibitors in urine, diminished sensibility to detect Neisseriae Gonorrhoeae.
