Abstract excerpt
In previous studies chlamydiae were detected immunohistologically in the gut of 66 out of 311 pigs. The aim of the present investigation was the classification of these intestinal porcine chlamydiae. For the study, DNA extracted from 52 paraffin-embedded intestinal tissues was amplified in nested polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) with Chlamydia omp1 genus- and species-specific primers. Some of the amplification...
