Molecular techniques for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis.
A DNA probe assay (PACE; Gen-Probe, San Diego, Calif.) was compared with a culture reference method for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis. Using stock isolates of each of the 15 serovars (A to K, Ba, L1, L2, and L3) of C. trachomatis, the lower limit of sensitivity for the DNA probe ranged between 1,086 inclusion-forming units (IFU) for serovar E (Bour) to 2,930 IFU for serovar L1 (440), w...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Chlamydia trachomatis in Women with Endometriosis
Background and Aims: Endometriosis is considered to be one of the most common women's diseases in the world. The exact cause of endometriosis is unknown. In this study, the bacterial agents were considered as the probable factors influencing this disease and the frequency of two bacteria U. urealyticum and C. trachomatis was studied in this disease. Materials and Methods: This study was perfor...
متن کاملExternal Quality Assessment for the Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in Urine Using Molecular Techniques in Belgium
Chlamydia trachomatis is a major cause of sexually transmitted bacterial disease worldwide. C. trachomatis is an intracellular bacterium and its growth in vitro requires cell culture facilities. The diagnosis is based on antigen detection and more recently on molecular nucleic acid amplification techniques (NAAT) that are considered fast, sensitive, and specific. In Belgium, External Quality As...
متن کاملDevelopment of TaqMan Duplex Real-time PCR for Simultaneous Detection of Chlamydia Trachomatis and Mycoplasma Genitalium
Background and Objective: Sexually infections transmitted by bacteria are one of thetherapeutic and social problemsworldwide. The Real-time PCR assay is one of the most sensitive diagnostic and screening methods for these infections. The purpose of this study wassimultaneous detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitaliumusing the TaqMan duplex real-time polymerase chain reaction. ...
متن کاملChlamydia trachomatis: Molecular Testing Methods
Screening tests to detect Chlamydia trachomatis infections have advanced to permit the detection of nucleic acids from organisms. The development of these molecular assays that can detect and amplify the specific nucleic acids from the genes of C. trachomatis are called nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) and they have expanded the range of available specimen types to include noninvasive s...
