DNA Sequence Polymorphism of the Chlamydia trachomatis omp1 Gene
1 Nov 1993
Abstract excerpt
The Chlamydia trachomatis major outer membrane protein gene (omp1) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from 89 clinical specimens, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns were analyzed after AluI or AluI and MspI digestion. Ten distinct RFLP omp1 genotypes were observed, although 4 types accounted for 70% of the isolates. The DNA sequence of variable domains (VDs) 1, 2, and 4...
