Objective. To investigate the genetic diversity of the Russian population of C. trachomatis.
Materials and Methods. We analyzed 42 clinical isolates of C. trachomatis obtained in 2024. MLST typing was performed using the Uppsala scheme (genes CT058, CT144, CT172, hctB, pbpB) and sequencing of the ompA gene for serotype determination.
Results. 8 serotypes (E – 50.0% predominates) and 26 sequence types (ST) were identified, including 8 new ones (19.0% of isolates).
