Chlamydia trachomatis Genotypes and the Swedish New Variant among Urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis Strains in Finland

Characterization of Chlamydia trachomatis omp1 genotypes among sexually transmitted disease patients in Sweden.

A method for detection and genotyping of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections based on omp1 gene amplification and sequencing was developed. DNA was extracted from urogenital or urine samples using a Chelex-based method, and an approximately 1,100-bp-long fragment from the omp1 gene was directly amplified and sequenced. Genotyping was performed by BLAST similarity search, and phylogenetic t...

Genotyping of Endocervical Chlamydia trachomatis Strains and Detection of Serological Markers of Acute and Chronic Inflammation in Their Host

High Prevalence of Co-Infections by Invasive and Non-Invasive Chlamydia trachomatis Genotypes during the Lymphogranuloma Venereum Outbreak in Spain

The evolution of Chlamydia trachomatis is mainly driven by recombination events. This fact can be fuelled by the coincidence in several European regions of the high prevalence of non-invasive urogenital genotypes and lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) outbreaks. This scenario could modify the local epidemiology and favor the selection of new C. trachomatis variants. Quantifying the prevalence of co...

Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis Antigen and Antibody in Infertile Women in Ahwaz

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium which causes a wide variety of human infections such as ocular, urogenital and respiratory infections. Genital infections of women, espe-cially when repeated, give rise to many complications such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and in‌fertility. Since chlamydial infections are usually asymptomatic, they progress unnoticed and produc...

P-59: Chlamydia Trachomatis Infection in Femaleswith Secondary Infertility

Background: We designed a prospective study to assess the role of Chlamydia in secondary infertility Materials and Methods: 40 women with secondary infertility and 30 term healthy pregnant women of similar age composition were studied for past and present chlamydia trachomatis infection. Women attending the outpatient department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology with complaint of secondary infertil...
