Infographic Request: Sexually Transmitted Infections

More than 30 pathogens—including bacteria, viruses, and parasites—are known to cause sexually transmitted infections (STIs). [1] STIs are threats to sexual and reproductive health due to associated medical problems. [1,2]

In addition, antimicrobial resistance among STIs has become a public health crisis that calls for improved antimicrobial stewardship and treatment optimizations. [3,4]

There are several common testing options for STIs. Of these, molecular diagnostics (MDX) such as PCR, have shown higher sensitivity and specificity than culture-based methods, allowing more accurate detection.
