Genetic diversity of Chlamydia trachomatis and the prevalence of trachoma.

The Pediatric infectious disease journal - 1 Mar 2004

Zhang Jianzhi, Lietman Thomas, Olinger Lynn, Miao Yinghui, Stephens Richard S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Considerable variation in the outer membrane protein (ompA) of Chlamydia trachomatis has been uncovered by immunotyping and, more recently, by genotyping. This diversity may assist Chlamydia in evading the human immune system; organisms may have a competitive advantage if they infect a host who has previously been infected only by other strains. If so, a diverse set of strains may attain a higher...
