Chlamydia trachomatis intra-bacterial and total plasmid copy number in clinical urogenital samples
Abstract Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) increases its plasmid numbers when stressed, as occurs in clinical trachoma samples. Most CT tests target the plasmid to increase the test sensitivity, but some only target the chromosome. We investigated clinical urogenital samples for total plasmid copy numbers...
