High-resolution genotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis strains by multilocus sequence analysis.

Genotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis is limited by the low sequence variation in the genome, and no adequate method is available for analysis of the spread of chlamydial infections in the community. We have developed a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) system based on five target regions and compared it with analysis of ompA, the single gene most extensively used for genotyping. Sequence determi...

Global Multilocus Sequence Type Analysis of Chlamydia trachomatis Strains from 16 Countries.

The Uppsala University Chlamydia trachomatis multilocus sequence type (MLST) database (http://mlstdb.bmc.uu.se) is based on five target regions (non-housekeeping genes) and the ompA gene. Each target has various numbers of alleles-hctB, 89; CT058, 51; CT144, 30; CT172, 38; and pbpB, 35-derived from 13 studies. Our aims were to perform an overall analysis of all C. trachomatis MLST sequence type...

High-resolution multilocus sequence typing reveals novel urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis strains in women in Mopani district, South Africa.

OBJECTIVES Recently, we reported a high prevalence (16%) of urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis infections among women in a rural setting in South Africa. Molecular epidemiological studies on C. trachomatis infections could provide insights into the characteristics of this epidemic, yet such data are not available. The objective of this study was therefore to assess the distribution of C. trachoma...

Multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis scheme for chlamydia felis genotyping: comparison with multilocus sequence typing.

Chlamydia felis is an important ocular pathogen in cats worldwide. A multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) system for the detection of tandem repeats across the whole genome of C. felis strain Fe/C-56 was developed. Nine selected genetic loci were tested by MLVA in 17 C. felis isolates, including the C. felis Baker vaccine strain, and 122 clinical samples from different geogr...

Genotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis from endocervical specimens in Shiraz, Iran

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and distribution of Chlamydia trachomatisgenotypes in Shiraz, Iran. Two hundred twelve cervical swab samples were collected from women attendingShahid Motahari Polyclinic in Shiraz, Iran. The endocervical specimens were screened for C. trachomatis byplasmid PCR. Genotyping was performed in C. trachomatis-positive samples by nested PCR ...
