This has happened again multiple times for CT eg www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.org/article/S119.... Single target molecular diagnostic assays can be risky.
The diagnostic-escape Finnish new variant of Chlamydia trachomatis first described in 2019 remains present in Finland three years after the introduction of an updated Aptima Combo 2 assay
In 2019, a new variant of Chlamydia trachomatis (Finnish new variant, FI-nvCT) that
escaped detection by the widely used nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) Aptima
