Abstract

DNA from Chlamydia trachomatis serovars L3, C, and E corresponding to the open reading frames of the 60-kDa protein and of a putative 15-kDa protein was sequenced. The open reading frames coding for the 60-kDa protein had 1,641 bp in the three serovars. Compared with the L3 serovar, there were 9 and 11 amino acid changes in the C and E serovars, respectively. The open reading frames corresponding to the putative 15-kDa protein had 450, 456, and 453 bp for the L3, C, and E serovars, respectively. When compared with the L3 serovar, the C and E serovars had 14 and 16 amino acid differences, respectively.
