In central area of Argentina, the epidemiologic and molecular characteristics of Chlamydophila psittaci infections are still unknown. Nested polymerase chain reaction of domains II, III, and IV of the omp A gene was used to detect Chlamydophila in 43 pharyngeal swab samples from patients with suspected human psittacosis (2010-2011); 9 (21%) of them yielded positive results. Molecular typing was performed by direct sequencing demonstrating the presence of C. psittaci genotypes A, E/B, and WC.
在阿根廷中部地区，鹦鹉热衣原体感染的流行病学和分子特征尚不清楚。我们使用 ompA 基因的 II、III 和 IV 结构域的巢式聚合酶链反应，对 2010 年至 2011 年间 43 例疑似人鹦鹉热患者的咽拭子样本进行了检测；其中 9 例（21%）为阳性。通过直接测序进行的分子分型显示存在 A、E/B 和 WC 基因型的 C. psittaci。
