ABSTRACT:
Amplification primers useful in assays for species-specific detection of a target sequence in the cryptic plasmid of C. trachomatis are described. The primers of the invention amplify a target in the region of nucleotides 2219-2366 of the cryptic plasmid sequence, and the target binding sequences disclosed may be adapted for use in amplification primers for a variety of amplification reactions.
