متن کاملMolecular 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 کاملPrevalence of antibody to Chlamydia pneumoniae TWAR in japan.
Chlamydia pneumoniae TWAR is a newly recognized Chlamydia species that is a pathogen of respiratory tract infection. To clarify the endemic status of C. pneumoniae in Japan, we evaluated the incidence of C. pneumoniae antibody in 1,330 serum samples (660 from outpatients, 600 from normal individuals, and 70 from cord blood). The antibody titer was determined by a microimmunofluorescence test by...
متن کاملChlamydia pneumoniae and atherosclerotic risk in populations: the role of seroepidemiology.
While seroepidemiologic studies first suggested a possible association of prior infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae and atherosclerotic risk, the contribution of seroepidemiologic studies of C. pneumoniae and atherosclerotic risk remains a source of controversy, in part because the reported findings appear inconsistent. In general, cross-sectional studies of C. pneumoniae and atherosclerotic ri...
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...
