Co-evolution of genomes and plasmids within Chlamydia trachomatis and the emergence in Sweden of a new variant strain

Helena MB Seth-Smith, Simon R Harris, Kenneth Persson, Pete Marsh, Andrew Barron, Alexandra Bignell, Carina Bjartling, Louise Clark, Lesley T Cutcliffe, Paul R Lambden, Nicola Lennard, Sarah J Lockey, Michael A Quail, Omar Salim, Rachel J Skilton, Yibing Wang, Martin J Holland, Julian Parkhill, Nicholas R Thomson, Ian N Clarke BMC Genomics 2009, 10:239 (21 May 2009)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Editor’s summary

Sequencing of the Swedish variant of Chlamydia trachomatis (serotype E) confirms the mutation that allowed it to escape detection, whilst comparative analysis of sequence from six strains identifies better conserved plasmid regions for use in PCR diagnosis.
