Abstract A procedure for identifying chlamydia, mycoplasmas, and ureaplasmas by the polymerase chain reaction is described which uses a system of four primers complementary to fragments of the 16S RNA gene, one of which detects all three microorganisms and the other three are each specific for a particular organism. With this primer system, chlamydia, mycoplasmas, and ureaplasmas are detectable in a single reaction. The procedure may be used for routine diagnoses in diagnostic laboratories.
