Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms in the major outer membrane protein gene (omp-1) of Chlamydia trachomatis B and Ba serovars have been demonstrated in Tunisian isolates. A total of 15 of 27 unique sequence signatures or omp-1 genotypes were identified. However, differentiation of unique signatures from sequences that reflect those of strains involved in a mixed infection is necessary to define the molecular epidemiology of...
