We detected Chlamydia trachomatis biovar L2 in vaginal swab specimens of 7 women with vaginal discharge in South Africa. Whole-genome sequencing directly from clinical specimens identified a closely related cluster of strains. The clinical role of this infection in the context of syndromic management should be clarified.
我们在南非 7 位有阴道分泌物的女性的阴道拭子标本中检测到沙眼衣原体生物变种 L2。直接从临床标本进行全基因组测序鉴定出了一个密切相关的菌株簇。应明确这种感染在综合征管理背景下的临床作用。
