It was a pleasure to be involved in this work. Thanks to all involved!

This brought isolates from regular water tests together with genomic analysis: we found the same strain circulating over the whole period, and looked at the substitution rates and larger genome changes over time. The strain has not been found elsewhere, and was not associated with any infections.

Thanks! I agree! We have syphilis (Treponema pallidum) in the panel 😁

and I'll @ my wonderful collaborators when they join Bluesky ;-)

I am so grateful to the Institute of Medical Microbiology at the University of Zurich, and the funders from the Bangerter-Rhyner Stiftung.

Using a target enrichment approach across a panel of bacterial STIs doi.org/10.1099/mgen... , we have identified a new lineage of LGV Chlamydia trachomatis doi.org/10.1099/mgen... .
