The present chlamydia research project was based on various topics of molecular biology. DNA based methods for rapid detection and identification of chlamydiae, such as conventinal PCR, RFLP-PCR, real time PCR, MLVA typing and DNA microarray technolgy were used. Research activities were placed in the context of characterising the occurrence, dissemination and host range, as well as the importance and zoonotic potential of chlamydia agents.
