Chlamydia trachomatis

The first DNA preparations in this part of the study was PCR product - DNA of Chlamydia trachomatis 17 > bp), in the presence of a smaller by molecular mass internal control of human DNA. After migration the gel was exposured for 5, 30, 300 and 600 seconds by transilluminator Vilber Lourmat, equipped with 6 UV lamps with irradiance W = 0,24 W/m2 and 254 nm filter. The degree of structural integrity loss of amplificated DNA was evaluated by the decrease of brightness intensity of the of the bands processed by using the tools of "ImageJ" computer program.

Chlamydia trachomatis can cause a variety of diseases in humans, for example trachoma, conjunctivitis and non-gonococcal urethritis. It is sensitive to the rifampicins, the tetracyclines and erythromycin. 

When diagnosing and treating gonorrhea, assume co-infection with Chlamydia trachomatis treatment recommendations should cover both organisms.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (also give concomitant treatment for Chlamydia trachomatis)... 

Pregnant women infected with N. gonorrhoeae should be treated with either a cephalosporin or spectinomycin, because fluoroquinolones are contraindicated. Azithromycin or amoxicillin is the preferred treatment for presumed Chlamydia trachomatis infection.

If the patient reports recent sexual activity, therapy for Chlamydia trachomatis should be considered (azithromycin 1 g as a single dose or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 7 days). 

Mycobacteria of the Mycobacterium avium complex are implicated in disseminated bacterial infections in AIDS patients. RFLP studies followed by hybridization with radiolabeled probe specific for an insertion sequence in M. avium (IS 1311) have been useful for typing M. avium stains (R2). A variety of molecular techniques are available for the diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis infection. In addition to PCR, a method based on the ligase chain reaction has also been found to be sensitive to the detection of C. trachomatis infection in urine specimens collected from male and female subjects (VI). The differentiation between low-risk genotypes of human papilloma virus (HPV 6 or 11) from genotypes of high...
