Abstract excerpt
We developed a real-time High Resolution Melting PCR to identify the new Swedish variant of Chlamydia trachomatis ncCT. Of 1191 urogenital specimens C. trachomatis-positive by an omp1 real-time PCR, collected in France in 2007-2008, 1128 gave an interpretable profile corresponding to the wild-type strain; no nvCT was found. This test can be used on selected C. trachomatis-positive samples to monitor the nvCT spread.
