The dermis is composed...
Background: Pre-genomic and post-genomic studies demonstrate that chlamydiae actively recombine in vitro and
in vivo, although the molecular and cellular biology of this process is not well understood. In this study, we
determined the genome sequence of twelve Chlamydia trachomatis recombinants that were generated in vitro
under antibiotic selection. These...
