Limited data are available on the typing of Chlamydia trachomatis in India. Serovars D to K of C. trachomatis are chiefly responsible for urogenital infections. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the distribution of C. trachomatis serovars in patients with urogenital infections and to characterize omp A gene of the detected C. trachomatis isolates by sequence analysis. Presence of other co-infections was also evaluated.
