In Smolensk, as part of the regional competition for young scientists in the nomination "Research in the natural sciences", the book "Development of molecular genetic methods for the identification and differentiation of representatives of the Chlamydiaceae family" IA Eidelstein.
The competition for young scientists was established by the Smolensk region department for education, science and youth policy in accordance with the Smolensk region administration decree of 02.03.2004 N 50 "on the creation of the annual regional competition for young scientists "in order to strengthen scientific activity in the environment of young people, by maintaining the continuity of scientific schools and the development of the scientific potential of the staff, the training of skills in the use of scientific knowledge in a market economy.

The problem with which IA Eidelstein consists in identifying representatives of the Chlamydiaceae family and remains extremely relevant, since the currently known universal methods for typing chlamydia by PCR are not sensitive enough for their direct detection. in clinical material or require laborious-product PCR analysis procedures. The PCR methods developed and presented in this work using primers specific to the family of the 5'-terminal part of the ompA gene are distinguished by high sensitivity, specificity and productivity for the 9 species of the family Chlamydiaceae compared to the precedents proposed by different groups of scientists by the methods of universal detection of representatives of the family of Chlamydiaceae.
