Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are a group of diagnostic techniques that use enzymes to make millions or billions of copies of specific genetic sequences, allowing for the detection of even trace amounts of pathogens in a sample. These tests are widely used in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, including bacterial infections of the reproductive system and protozoan infections of the urogenital system.
