ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods and reagents for the detection and identification of four causative agents of genital ulcerations, herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2, Treponema pallidum, and Haemophilus ducreyi. The methods use sequence-specific primers which enable the simultaneous polymeric chain reaction amplification of genomic nucleic acid sequences from HSV types 1 and 2, T. pallidum, and H. ducreyi. Following amplification, sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes are used to detect and distinguish HSV type 1 and 2, T. pallidum, and H. ducreyi nucleic acid.
