Sequence conservation in the major outer membrane protein gene among Chlamydia trachomatis strains isolated from the upper and lower urogenital tract.

Abstract excerpt

To determine the extent of nucleotide sequence variation in the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) gene among 27 clinical isolates of Chlamydia trachomatis, the MOMP gene was amplified from 13 strains isolated from the endometrium of patients with pelvic inflammatory disease and high titers of anti-chlamydial antibodies and from 14 strains isolated from the cervix of patients with presumed first-time chlamydial...
