Abstract excerpt
Serovars E, F, and D are the most prevalent Chlamydia trachomatis strains worldwide. This prevalence may relate to epitopes that enhance infectivity and transmission. There are numerous major outer membrane protein (MOMP) gene (omp1) variants described for D and F but few for E. However, omp1 constant regions are rarely sequenced yet, they may contain mutations that affect the structure/function relationship of...
