title = "Paperfluidic platform to detect neisseria gonorrhoeae in urethral and vaginal swab samples",
abstract = "Globally, Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) accounts for 106 million new sexually transmitted infections (STIs) per year. Once diagnosed, this infection can be cured with a one-time dose of antimicrobial drug; however, gold standard NG diagnostics are often unavailable in resource-constrained settings and at the point-of-care, often resulting in patients remaining untreated. We have developed an integrated 'sample-to-answer' system that results in simple and sensitive Yes/No visual readout for NG on a paper microfluidic in less than an hour. Here, we show preliminary results using our diagnostic platform with banked NG clinical samples, showing agreement with gold standard PCR assay.",
