Getting the measure of syphilis: qPCR to better understand early infection

OBJECTIVES: Until recently, PCR had been used to detect but not quantify Treponema pallidum. To understand infection kinetics of this uncultivable organism, a real-time PCR assay was developed to quantify 47 kDa membrane lipoprotein gene DNA (tpp47). METHODS: Assay specificity was determined against...
