Rapid Detection of theChlamydiaceaeand Other Families in the OrderChlamydiales: Three PCR Tests
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Few identification methods will rapidly or specifically detect all bacteria in the order Chlamydiales, family Chlamydiaceae. In this study, three PCR tests based on sequence data from over 48 chlamydial strains were developed for identification of these bacteria. Two tests exclusively recognized the Chlamydiaceae: a multiplex test targeting the ompA gene and the rRNA intergenic spacer and a TaqMan test targeting...
