Abstract excerpt
Chlamydia trachomatis causes common sexually transmitted infections. The use of whole-genome sequencing for its classification and surveillance is limited due to technical challenges and the lack of standardized typing frameworks. In particular, core-genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), a scalable and portable approach widely applied to other bacterial pathogens, remains little explored for C. trachomatis....
