Abstract excerpt
A group of genes thought to encode members of the unique chlamydial polymorphic membrane protein (pmp) family were recently described in the Chlamydophila felis genome. This study aimed to commence characterisation of a subset of 12 of these putative pmp genes by developing and using gene-specific real-time (Q)PCR assays to confirm their presence in a wide range of C. felis field isolates and laboratory strains,...
