Genomic analyses of the Chlamydia trachomatis core genome show an association between chromosomal genome, plasmid type and disease

Abstract Background Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) plasmid has been shown to encode genes essential for infection. We evaluated the population structure of Ct using whole-genome sequence data (WGS). In particular, the relationship between the Ct genome, plasmid and disease was investigated. Results WGS...
