title: Evaluation of the gono-tect fluorescent antibody system for confirmation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
abstract: An evaluation of the recently developed Abbott Laboratories GONO-tect Fluorescent Antibody (FA) System for confirmation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was performed using stock cultures and fresh isolates. Tests on more than 350 organisms using the Center for Disease Control reference conjugate and test technique and the standardized GONO-tect reagents and control system were compared. Results indicate the kit to be reliable when used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
