A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure was developed for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis. Two oligonucleotide primers based on sequences within the major outer membrane protein gene from C. trachomatis serovar L2 were used. A single DNA fragment was amplified, when C. trachomatis DNA was template for the PCR. No amplified product was detected in Chlamydia psittaci DNA, Chlamydia pneumoniae DNA or other bacterial DNAs. The amplified DNA fragment was detected, when DNA of greater than or equal to 10(2) C. trachomatis per reaction was used as template for the PCR. Thus, the PCR was shown to be specific for C. trachomatis and more sensitive than the enzyme immunoassays for detection of chlamydial antigen and the chlamydial rRNA:DNA probe hybridization method.
