<i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> outbreak: when the virulence-associated genome backbone imports a prevalence-associated major antigen signature

2019-04-29

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most prevalent sexually transmitted bacteria worldwide and the causative agent of blinding trachoma. Strains are classified based on ompA genotypes, which are strongly linked with differential tissue tropism and disease outcomes. A lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) epidemics, characterized by ulcerative proctitis, has emerged in the last two decades (mainly L2b genotype), raising high co...
