Prevalence and genotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis in symptomatic male patients from Istanbul, Turkey

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and distribution of urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis genotypes in symptomatic male patients who were referred to the clinics of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine. Of 419 urogenital swabs, 57 samples (13.6 %) were positive for C. trachomatis. Genoty...

description This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and distribution of urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis genotypes in symptomatic male patients who were referred to the clinics of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine. Of 419 urogenital swabs, 57 samples (13.6 %) were positive for C. trachomatis. Genotype distribution of C. trachomatis-positive samples identified five genetic variants namely genotype E as the most prevalent (36.4 %), followed by genotype G (23.6 %), H (21.8 %), D (16.4 %) and F (1.8 %). We believe that this is the first study on distribution of genotypes of C. trachomatis genital infections in symptomatic men in Istanbul, Turkey.
