Abstract：Objectives: To establish a sensitive and specific molecular biologicalmethod for detecting Chlamydia trachomatis of genital tract infection patients. Methods: A DNA blot assay was developed by coating DNA of Chlamydia trachomatisand/or extract of clinical samples on nitrocellulose (NC) membrane, blotting witha DNA probe labeled with DIG. Results: There was no positive blotting in Chlamydiapneumoniae, Chlamydia psittaci, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae,Esherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus infuenzae and Candida albicansexcept Chlamydia trachomatis. The sensitivity could be improved to 1pg. The positivepercentage was 22% (22/100) in detection of swabs collected from 100 chroniccervicitis and prostatitis patients. Conclusions: This method was not only sensitive, rapid and specific but also could be applied to detect batch samples. Natl J Androl,2001,7(2):102～104
