  • Title: Characterization of a new isolate of Chlamydia trachomatis which lacks the common plasmid and has properties of biovar trachoma.
    Author: Farencena A, Comanducci M, Donati M, Ratti G, Cevenini R.
    Journal: Infect Immun; 1997 Jul; 65(7):2965-9. PubMed ID: 9199473.
    Abstract:
    A Chlamydia trachomatis urethral isolate, alpha/95, yielding pgp3-negative but otherwise normal inclusions by immunofluorescence also gave negative results when pCT-homologous DNA was searched by PCR and Southern blotting. omp-1 sequence analysis identified alpha/95 as a new genotype B variant. These findings confirm that pCT is not required for chlamydial growth in vitro.
