Abstract:
The invention provides methods and compositions for the detection of  Chlamydia trachomatis  in a test sample. Its presence or absence in the sample is determined by nucleic acid based testing methods using primers and/or probes and or molecular beacons that bind to the 23S ribosomal genes or gene transcripts.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of detecting  Chlamydia trachomatis  in a test sample, the method comprising:\n (a) extracting nucleic acid from the test sample; (b) amplifying a target sequence by reacting the nucleic acid extracted in step (a) with a reaction mixture comprising a strand displacement DNA polymerase and a sequence-specific primer set, wherein said sequence-specific primer set is selected from the group consisting of:\n i. a primer set comprising a forward outer primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 81, a backward outer primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 82, a forward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 83, a backward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 84, a forward loop primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 85, and a backward loop primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 86, \n ii. a primer set comprising a forward outer primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 87, a backward outer primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 82, a forward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 94, a backward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 84, a forward loop primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 76, and a backward loop primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 86, \n iii. a primer set comprising a forward outer primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 81, a backward outer primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 82, a forward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 83, and a backward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 84, \n iv. a primer set comprising a forward outer primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 87, a backward outer primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 82, a forward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 94, and a backward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 84, \n v. a primer set comprising a forward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 83 and a backward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 84, and \n vi. a primer set comprising a forward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 94 and a backward inner primer comprising SEQ ID NO: 84; and \n (c) detecting the presence or absence of an amplified product of step (b); wherein the presence of said amplification product is indicative of the presence of  Chlamydia trachomatis  in the test sample.
