Chlamydia trachomatis infection among at-risk populations in Taiwan: Emergence of genovariant L2b and treatment response to antimicrobials
C. trachomatis was prevalent among PWH and PrEP users and the prevalence of L2b genovariant was increasing in Taiwan. A 7-day course of doxycycline was effective in clearing L2b genovariant in asymptomatic participants. Continued surveillance to monitor the evolving epidemiology of chlamydia in Taiwan is warranted.
