Opa-typing: a high-resolution tool for studying the epidemiology of gonorrhoea.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Sept 1995

O'Rourke M, Ison C A, Renton A M, Spratt B G

Abstract excerpt

A single gonococcus possesses a family of 11 distinct and highly variable opa genes. The extensive variation and rapid evolution of the opa gene repertoire has been exploited to provide a high-resolution typing method for studies of the short-term transmission of gonorrhoea. The 11 opa genes are amplified with a single pair of primers by the polymerase chain reaction, digested with frequently-cutting restriction...
