Patterns of within-host spread of <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> between vagina, endocervix and rectum revealed by comparative genomic analysis
2023-01-26
Abstract excerpt
Chlamydia trachomatis , a gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium, commonly causes sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Little is known about C. trachomatis transmission within the host, which is important for understanding disease epidemiology and progression. We used RNA-bait enrichment and whole-genome sequencing to compare rectal, vaginal and endocervical samples collected at the same time from 26 s...
