摘要: A simple genotyping method was developed and validated for all known Chlamydia psittaci reference genotypes. C. is currently divided into nine genotypes (A-F, E/B, M-5(6) WC), more or less associated with the preferred avian host. This targeting variable domain 4 of ompA gene has a lowest detection limit 1 to 10 copies per PCR applied 69 human samples collected in hospitals Netherlands from September 2008 until end October 2013. Genotype most prevalent genotype. In addition, B, C, new genotype, abortus were found. caviae infection detected as result extension this surveillance study national level. The sensitivity compared our real-time diagnostic 0.98 (66/67 typable samples). Specificity 1.0 based on 33 commonly encountered bacterial yeast species 20 respiratory samples. typing could help monitor infections humans provides insight relationships between notified 'psittacosis' cases probable other animal sources. When needed, can be obtained within 24 hours.
