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

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 data fr...
