One-tube nested Polymerase Chain Reaction for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis

Here we present a one-tube nested PCR test, which allows the detection of minimal quantities of Chlamydia trachomatis in human fluids. This assay includes the use of an internal control to avoid false negative results due to the presence of inhibitors. The results obtained show that this assay is ro...
