Evaluating methods for genome sequencing of Chlamydia trachomatis and other sexually transmitted bacteria directly from clinical swabs
Rates of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are rising, and accessing their genomes provides information on strain evolution, circulating strains and encoded antimicrobial resistance (AM...
