Population-based analysis of ocular <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> in trachoma-endemic West African communities identifies genomic markers of disease severity

2017-10-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Chlamydia trachomatis ( Ct ) is the most common infectious cause of blindness and bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Using Ct whole genome sequences obtained directly from conjunctival swabs, we studied Ct genomic diversity and associations between Ct genetic polymorphisms with ocular localization and disease severity in a treatment-naïve trachoma-endemic population in Guine...
