A Study on Genetic Diversity of Egyptian Isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis
Basant Osama Sayed Mohammed;
Abstract
Abstract
Background: Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite that infects the urogenital tract of men and women, causing trichomoniasis which is considered the most common nonviral, STD in the world. A number of methods have been used in previous attempts to characterize the genetic diversity of T. vaginalis with variable levels of reproducibility and precision. Currently, there is no gold standard method for genotyping isolates of T. vaginalis.
Aim of the work: Genotyping using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) targeting 3 housekeeping genes to identify genotypes among Egyptian isolates of T. vaginalis, to correlate genotypes with the clinical presentation and to determine the phylogenetic relationship in comparison with reference strains
