Genetic indicators of drug resistance in the highly repetitive genomes of <i>Trichomonas vaginalis</i> and other trichomonads

2016-09-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Trichomonas vaginalis , the most common non-viral sexually transmitted parasite, causes ~283 million trichomoniasis infections annually and is associated with complications during pregnancy and increased risk of HIV-1 acquisition. The antimicrobial drug metronidazole is used for treatment, but has lead to widespread drug resistance. We undertook sequencing of multiple clinical isolates and lab...
