Abstract excerpt
To determine the range of ocular strains of Chlamydia trachomatis circulating in southern Morocco, where trachoma is endemic, and to compare the value of the molecular methods for genotyping C. trachomatis, ocular specimens were subjected to a direct Omp1 PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-based analysis and direct sequencing. PCR-RFLP analysis shows that the Ba genotype represents the most...
