ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method to detect a Chlamydia infection. More particularly, this invention relates to the discovery of a genus specific antigen in Chlamydia psittaci strain DD-34 than can be used to make antibodies that diagnostically identify strains of both Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia trachomatis, while not cross-reacting with other species.
