Active trachoma cases in the Solomon Islands have varied polymicrobial community structures but do not associate with individual non-chlamydial pathogens of the eye

2017-05-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Several non-chlamydial microbial pathogens are associated with clinical signs of active trachoma in trachoma-endemic communities with a low prevalence of ocular Chlamydia trachomatis ( Ct ) infection. In the Solomon Islands, the prevalence of Ct among children is low despite the prevalence of active trachoma being moderate. We therefore set out to investigate whether active trachoma was ass...
