Abstract excerpt
Typing of Chlamydia trachomatis is important to understanding its epidemiology. Currently used methods such as DNA sequencing of the ompA gene and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) either offer limited epidemiological resolution or are laborious and expensive, or both. DNA microarray technology using the ArrayStrip format is an affordable alternative for genotyping. In this study, we developed a new multilocus...
