Transcontinental Dissemination Of The L2b/D-Da Recombinant Chlamydia Trachomatis Lymphogranuloma Venereum (Lgv) Strain: Need Of Broad Multi-Country Molecular Surveillance

Previously, we identified a Chlamydia trachomatis lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) recombinant strain possessing a non-LGV ompA genotype. Here, culture-independent genome sequencing confirms its circulation in Europe, Middle East, and North America, and unveils emergence of antibiotic resistance. Broad surveillance is needed.
