Abstract excerpt
Detection and genotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis were optimized by using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis performed directly with crude cells of cervical scrapes. Different PCR pretreatment methods were evaluated on samples which were positive for C. trachomatis by cell culture. In comparison with DNA extraction and different proteolytic digestion...
