Molecular detection and seroepidemiology of the Chlamydia pneumoniae bacteriophage (PhiCpn1).
Recent whole-genome analysis has demonstrated limited genetic variation in Chlamydia pneumoniae, with one strain (AR39) containing a 4,524 nucleotide single-stranded DNA bacteriophage, PhiCpn1. Using PCR, reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, and Western blotting, we confirmed the presence and functional expression of PhiCpn1 in C. pneumoniae strain AR39 and its absence in strain CWL029. Six addition...
متن کاملSIMULTANEOUS DETECTION OF CHLAMYDIA PNEUlvlONIAE AND MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE BY PCR
Both C. pneumoniae and M. pneumoniae are common causes of respiratory tract infection. At present, both are still diagnosed in the laboratory retrospectively by serology. This is despite many publications which indicate that PCR, which is not retrospective, is extremely good at detecting these organisms. We thought that a single PCR test which could detect both organisms simultaneously in a...

متن کاملDetection of Chlamydia pneumoniae
no antibodies to brucella when tested 9 months later is evidence against a common source of infection. Brucellosis in domestic animals has not been recorded in Sweden since the 1950s, and human brucellosis acquired in this country has not been reported since then. The possibility of coital transmission of bmcella has long been suggested, but only recently has brucellosis been isolated from huma...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Chlamydia felis in Cats in Ahvaz, Iran
Chlamydiae are obligate generally Gram-negative intracellular parasites with bacterial characteristics, including a cell wall, DNA, and RNA. They have a worldwide distribution in different animal species. Chlamydia felis (C. felis) is an important agent with zoonotic susceptibility often isolated from cats with chronic conjunctivitis. The aim of the present survey aimed ...
