Detection of Novel Organisms Associated with Salpingitis, by Use of 16S rDNA Polymerase Chain Reaction
10 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Although Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are established causes of salpingitis, the majority of cases have no known etiology. We used broad-range 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction to identify novel, possibly uncultivable, bacteria associated with salpingitis and identified bacterial 16S sequences in Fallopian-tube specimens from 11 (24%) of 45 consecutive women with laparoscopically confirmed...
