Aim. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a key method for the C. trachomatis diagnostics. The first-generation tests targeting a cryptic plasmid showed quite a high sensitivity; however their value has recently been compromised by the discovery of C. trachomatis strains lacking the target DNA segment...
