Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Trachoma, caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct), is the leading infectious cause of blindness. Sequence-based analysis of the multiple strains typically present in endemic communities may be informative for epidemiology, transmission, response to treatment, and understanding the host response. METHODS: Conjunctival and nasal samples from a Gambian community were evaluated before and 2 months after mass...
