Comparison of a New Quantitative ompA-Based Real-Time PCR TaqMan Assay for Detection of Chlamydia pneumoniae DNA in Respiratory Specimens with Four Conventional PCR Assays

Chlamydia pneumoniae, an important respiratory pathogen, is difficult to culture, and detection rates by conventional PCRs vary considerably. A new quantitative ompA-based real-time PCR assay based on TaqMan technology for detection of C. pneumoniae in respiratory samples is described, and its perfo...
