Background: The Chlamydiaceae family currently includes two genera and one candidate genus: genus Chlamydia (including the species Chlamydia muridarum, Chlamydia suis, Chlamydia trachomatis), genus Chlamydophila (including the species Chlamydophila abortus, Chlamydophila caviae Chlamydophila felis, Chlamydia pecorum, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Chlamydophila psittaci), and candidatus Clavochlamydia. All Chlamydiaceae are obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria that cause diseases in humans and animals worldwide.

Description: BactoReal^® Kit Chlamydiaceae is based on the amplification and detection of the 23S rRNA gene of C. muridarum, C. suis, C. trachomatis, C. abortus, C. caviae, C. felis, C. pecorum, C. pneumoniae and C. psittaci using real-time PCR.

PCR-platforms: BactoReal^® Kit Chlamydiaceae is developed and validated for the ABI PRISM^® 7500 instrument (Life Technologies), LightCycler^® 480 (Roche) and Mx3005P^® QPCR System (Agilent), but is also suitable for other real-time PCR instruments.
