Abstract excerpt
A nested PCR for genus-specific amplification of the Chlamydia omp1 locus was established. This PCR detected single template molecules in 200-microl specimen aliquots. Amplified chlamydial omp1 alleles were typed by heminested species PCRs and allele PCRs. We applied this method to 407 specimens...
