Publication number: 20070065837Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods for determining the presence or absence of Chlamydia in a patient, as well as diagnostic kits useful in practicing the methods of the invention. The methods of the invention are based on nucleic acid amplification reactions to detect both Chlamydia genomic and cryptic plasmid sequences. In one embodiment, the methods involve using nucleic acid primers to specifically amplify the Chlamydia trachomatis ompA gene and cryptic plasmid. These methods provide both enhanced reliability and sensitivity of detection, thereby providing an accurate determination of the presence or absence of Chlamydia trachomatis in a patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2005Publication date: March 22, 2007Applicant: QIAGEN Diagnostics GmbHInventors: Meike Eickhoff, Thomas Grewing
