Abstract excerpt
Previous epidemiological studies of Chlamydia trachomatis frequently have required expansion of isolates in tissue culture. The possibility that C. trachomatis omp1 might undergo mutation during such expansion has not been examined systematically. We found no differences in the omp1 sequences from 10 clinical specimens before and after 20 in vitro passages.
