Details of equine abortion cases positive by real-time PCR (rtPCR) for Chlamydiaceae.
| Case | FFPE tissue | rtPCR (mean Ct value) | DNA ArrayMate microarray* | 16S rRNA and sequencing (identity %; GenBank accession) | IHC for Chlamydiaceae |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Placenta | 32 | UT | C. abortus (100; MN702805) | Positive |
| Umbilicus | 34 | C. abortus | C. abortus (100; MN702806) | Positive | |
| 2 | Placenta | 32 | C. psittaci | C. psittaci (100; MN702807) | Positive |
Ct = cycle threshold; FFPE = formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded; IHC = immunohistochemistry; UT = undetermined.
