Abstract excerpt
Azithromycin is widely used to treat Chlamydia trachomatis infections, yet the extent of resistance to the drug across the species has not been addressed. We surveyed mutations and substitutions linked to putative azithromycin resistance across 1,349 high-quality C. trachomatis genomes. Mutations in the rplV gene encoding three non-synonymous substitutions, compared with the canonical C. trachomatis reference...
