Introduction: Circulating Chlamydia trachomatis genotypes that cause infection in our geographic area were studied with the aim of detecting possible epidemiological peculiarities.
Methods: A total of 177 strains obtained between 2006 and 2008 were genotyped using a PCR with primers targeting the ompA gene, and later sequenced.
Results: The most frequent genotypes were: E (45.3%), D (15.3%), G (10.2%) and F (9.6%). Other genotypes found were: B, H, I, J, K and LGV II.
Conclusion: The molecular assay used had a high yield (89%).
