Ten years transmission of the new variant of Chlamydia trachomatis in Sweden: prevalence of infections and associated complications
OBJECTIVES In 2006, a new variant of Chlamydia trachomatis (nvCT) was discovered in Sweden. It has a deletion in the plasmid resulting in failed detection by the single target systems from Abbott and Roche used at that time, whereas the third system used, from Becton Dickinson (BD), detects nvCT. The proportion of nvCT was initially up to 65% in counties using Abbott/Roche systems. This study a...
متن کاملEvaluation of the BD ProbeTec CTQ Amplified DNA Assay for Detection of the New Chlamydia trachomatis Variant in Sweden
OBJECTIVES The nvCT has a 377 bp plasmid deletion that has caused commonly used nucleic acid amplification tests to generate false negative results. In Swedish counties nvCT has been reported to account for up to 65% of all chlamydia cases in 2007. The aim was to evaluate the CTQ DNA amplification assay for detection of the new Chlamydia trachomatis variant (nvCT) in urine specimens from a labo...
متن کاملGenotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis from endocervical specimens in Shiraz, Iran
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and distribution of Chlamydia trachomatisgenotypes in Shiraz, Iran. Two hundred twelve cervical swab samples were collected from women attendingShahid Motahari Polyclinic in Shiraz, Iran. The endocervical specimens were screened for C. trachomatis byplasmid PCR. Genotyping was performed in C. trachomatis-positive samples by nested PCR ...
متن کاملChlamydia trachomatis Genotypes and the Swedish New Variant among Urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis Strains in Finland
Our aims were to genotype Chlamydia trachomatis strains present in urogenital samples and to investigate the occurrence of the Swedish new variant of C. trachomatis in Finland. We genotyped 160 C. trachomatis positive samples with ompA real-time PCR and analyzed 495 samples for the new variant. The three most prevalent genotypes were E (40%), F (28%), and G (13%). Only two specimens containing ...
متن کاملGenotyping markers used for multi locus VNTR analysis with ompA (MLVA-ompA) and multi sequence typing (MST) retain stability in Chlamydia trachomatis
We aimed to evaluate the stability of the Chlamydia trachomatis multi locus VNTR analysis (MLVA-ompA) and multi sequence typing (MST) systems through multiple passages in tissue culture. Firstly, we analyzed the stability of these markers through adaptation of C. trachomatis to tissue culture and secondly, we examined the stability of a four-locus MLVA-ompA and a five-locus MST system after mul...
