Comparison of sequencing of the por gene and typing of the opa gene for discrimination of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains from sexual contacts.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Dec 2000

Abstract excerpt

Typing of gonococcal strains is a valuable tool for the biological confirmation of sexual contacts. We have developed a typing method based on DNA sequencing of two overlapping por gene fragments generated by a heminested PCR. We compared sequencing of the por gene (POR sequencing) and typing of the opa gene (OPA typing) for the characterization of strains from 17 sexual partnerships. Both methods were highly...
