Zanetti, Stefania Anna Lucia and Sechi, Leonardo Antonio and Pinna, Antonio <1963- > and Sanna, Alberto and Usai, Donatella and Carta, Francesco and Fadda, Giovanni (1997) One-tube nested polymerase chain reaction in the diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis infections. New Microbiologica, Vol. 20 (1), p. 29-34. ISSN 1121-7138. Article. Full text not available from this repository. Alternative URLs: AbstractA one-tube nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers derived from the major outer membrane protein gene sequence of Chlamydia trachomatis was compared with McCoy cell culture for the detection of the micro-organism in clinical specimens. Of 110 urogenital and ocular specimens, 21 were positive by culture and 25 by nested PCR; all 21 culture-positive specimens were also positive by nested PCR. After resolution of discrepant specimens as true-positive, sensitivity was 100%, for nested PCR and 84% for cell culture, while specificity was 100% for both tests. One-tube nested PCR appears to be a rapid, highly sensitive and specific technique for diagnosing C. trachomatis infections.
