In situ hybridization for the detection and localization of swine Chlamydia trachomatis.

COMPARISON OF PCR BASED ASSAY AND CELL CULTURE IN DETECTION OF UROGENITA L CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS INFECTION AND DETERMINATION OF THE INHIBITORY RATE O F SPECIMENS UNDER STUDY

An amplification polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for the direct detection of Chlamydia trachomatis in urethral and endocervical swab specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic women and men were compared to standard culture technique. During 6 months, 300 endocervical swab specimens from 205 asymptomatic women (64.4%) and 95 symptomatic women (31.6%), and 187 urethral swab specime...

Development 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. ...

Molecular Evidence of Chlamydia trachomatis Infection and its Relation to Miscarriage

Objective Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world that can persist and also ascend in the genital tract. This intracellular and silent infection is related to some adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage. The aims of this study were to explore the best CT screening tests using blood and vaginal samples and to investigate the corr...

Molecular 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...
