  • * One isolate displayed two different bands in the PCR reaction; one not typeable and one type 2 suggesting a double infection.

  • One isolate had too short sequence product, but was determined to be type 1 or 2.

  • NT, not typeable.

  • § One isolate had too short sequence product, but was determined to be type 1, 2 or 38.

  • MLST, multilocus sequence typing; nvCT, new variant of C trachomatis; wtCT, wild-type C trachomatis.
