Multilocus VNTR analysis-ompA typing of Chlamydia trachomatis isolates in Tehran, Iran.

Introduction: This study is the first to describe the genetic diversity of C. trachomatis strains derived from patients with signs and symptoms of genitourinary infections admitted to Tehran health centers and hospitals using the high-resolution genotyping method, multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis with ompA sequencing (MLVA)-ompA.

Methods: One hundred and sixty-seven urogenital specimens were collected from October 2019 to July 2020.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and molecular characterization of in Tehran, Iran.

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection occurring worldwide. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance in and associated molecular epidemiological studies are crucial to ascertain the spread of antibiotic-resistant and developing the local treatment guidelines. This study was performed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and molecular epidemiology of isolates in Tehran, Iran.
