Haemophilus ducreyi and klebsiella granulomatis

Abstract

Haemophilus ducreyi is the causative agent of chancroid, and Klebsiella granulomatis is the cause of Donovanosis. Both are classified as agents of genital ulcer disease. This method describes a multiplex polymerase chain reaction targeting these organisms in which amplification products are detected by an enzyme linked amplicon hybridization assay. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
