Abstract

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.

Keywords: Chlamydia trachomatis; fluoroquinolones resistance; intercontinental dissemination; lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV); recombination.
