The diversity of the opa gene in gonococcal isolates from men who have sex with men.

Sexually transmitted infections - 1 Aug 2004

Howie F, Young H, McMillan A

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To use a molecular typing method (opa-typing) to characterise gonococcal isolates obtained from men who have sex with men (MSM) attending a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic in Edinburgh during 2001. To compare the results of opa-typing with A/S (auxotype/serovar) phenotyping, and with epidemiological information obtained by contact tracing. METHODS: Isolates were opa-typed by a PCR-RFLP method...
