  • Cases 7–9, 11, 12, 13 and 23–27 pertained to the CRI study and all others to the CSI study.

  • *Number of partners in the 6 months before T0 respectively T1; second number after underscore at T1: number of partners among those who were already partners before T0.

  • †Possible outcome at T1: R, recurrent infection by same partner; P, persistent infection without treatment.

  • ‡NA, not applicable: no sex after T0 treatment with regular partner.

  • CRI, Chlamydia Retest Implementation; CSI, Chlamydia Screening Implementation; MLST, multilocus sequence typing; TF, treatment failure; N, new infection by same or new partner.
