Detection of\n            <jats:italic>C. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            is inconsistent, and standardized PCR assays are needed. Two real-time PCR assays specific for\n            <jats:italic>C. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            were developed by using the fluorescent dye-labeled TaqMan probe-based system. Oligonucleotide primers and probes were designed to target two variable domains of the\n            <jats:italic>ompA<\/jats:italic>\n            gene, VD2 and VD4. The limit of detection for each of the two PCR assays was 0.001 inclusion-forming unit. Thirty-nine\n            <jats:italic>C. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            isolates obtained from widely distributed geographical areas were amplified by the VD2 and VD4 assays, producing the expected 108- and 125-bp amplification products, respectively. None of the\n            <jats:italic>C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic>\n            serovars,\n            <jats:italic>C. psittaci<\/jats:italic>\n            strains, other organisms, or human DNAs tested were amplified. The amplification results of the newly developed assays were compared to the results of culturing and two nested PCR assays, targeting the 16S rRNA and\n            <jats:italic>ompA<\/jats:italic>\n            genes. The assays were compared by testing\n            <jats:italic>C. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            purified elementary bodies, animal tissues, 228 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) specimens, and 179 oropharyngeal (OP) swab specimens obtained from ischemic stroke patients or matched controls. The real-time VD4 assay and one nested PCR each detected\n            <jats:italic>C. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            in a single, but different, PBMC specimen. Eleven of 179 OP specimens (6.1%) showed evidence of the presence of\n            <jats:italic>C. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            in one or more tests. The real-time VD4 assay detected the most positive results of the five assays. We believe that this real-time PCR assay offers advantages over nested PCR assays and may improve the detection of\n            <jats:italic>C. pneumoniae<\/jats:italic>\n            in clinical specimens.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.40.2.575-583.2002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T09:55:53Z","timestamp":1027763753000},"page":"575-583","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":83,"title":["Development and Evaluation of Real-Time PCR-Based Fluorescence Assays for Detection of\n            <i>Chlamydia<\/i>\n            <i>pneumoniae<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Maria Lucia C.","family":"Tondella","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Diseases Branch, Division of Bacterial and Mycotic Diseases"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deborah F.","family":"Talkington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Diseases Branch, Division of Bacterial and Mycotic Diseases"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian P.","family":"Holloway","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Resources Program, National Centers for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia 30333"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Scott F.","family":"Dowell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Diseases Branch, Division of Bacterial and Mycotic Diseases"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karyn","family":"Cowley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Diseases Branch, Division of Bacterial and Mycotic Diseases"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Montse","family":"Soriano-Gabarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Diseases Branch, Division of Bacterial and Mycotic Diseases"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mitchell S.","family":"Elkind","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University"},{"name":"Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center of New York Presbyterian Hospital, New York, New York 10032"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barry S.","family":"Fields","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Diseases Branch, Division of Bacterial and Mycotic Diseases"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.39.2.519-524.2001"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004300050071"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02276060"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/516492"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","first-page":"274","volume":"78","year":"1998","unstructured":"Boman, J., S.
