Abstract

The human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis has multiple serovariants that have distinct organotropisms. We recently revised genomic sequence data linked to ocular reference strain, B/HAR36. Now linked to its correct genomic data in the European Nucleotide Archive, we describe its genomic features.
