A method of diagnosing a disorder characterized by undesirable cell proliferation in a subject comprising detecting the presence of an agent in a sample from the subject, wherein the agent is selected from the group consisting of pathogenic archaea, mycoplasma, chlamydia, C reactive protein, sp...
In this study, we developed a new rapid simultaneous molecular assay for the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Trichomonas vaginalis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and M. genitalium macrolide (23S rRNA gene, A2058/A2059) and fluoroquinolone (ParC gene, S83I) drug resistance-associate...
The genome of the Swedish strain features an evolutionary 'hiccup' that allowed it to go undetected in Sweden for several months. Indeed, doctors thought that the numbers of cases of Chlamydia were falling, when the opposite was true. Through non-diagnosis, this version of Chlamydia spread silen...
