Abstract excerpt
A pair of primers were designed for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify a 341-base pair fragment of the gene encoding the outer membrane protein IB (PIB) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This PCR technique is specific and sensitive, being able to detect gonococcal strains belonging to ten different PIB serovars, but not PIA gonococcus nor other negative control bacteria. PCR products of four representative...
