2. Fig. 1
(a) Temporal evolution of Chlamydia trachomatis strains carrying the recombinant pmpH gene during the periods of time described. The pmpH-recombinant variant was detected by PCR on direct sample. (b) Annual detection of pmpH-recombinant C. trachomatis strains depending on from where the samples were taken. Solid colours represent the recombinant variant and striped colours correspond to the non-recombinant variant.

Distribution of symptomatic and asymptomatic Chlamydia trachomatis infections carrying pmpH-recombinant gene, depending on the type of the sample. Co-STD, co-infections caused by C. trachomatis and other sexually transmitted diseases simultaneously, in this series all cases were Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

(a) Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogeny of pmpH gene from Chlamydia trachomatis. The different pathotypes are easily differentiated (bootstrap ≥99). This phylogenetic tree was performed with all pmpH sequences available in GenBank. (b) ML phylogeny of five concatenated genes (pmpH, rs2, lysS, incE-F and ompA). Those sequences with detected recombinant events in this gene are shown in bold. The red bold sequences correspond to a recombinant closely related to pmpH found in Madrid, whereas light blue represents the recombinant variants detected in Seattle.

5. Fig. 4
Bayesian analysis of concatenated genes. Using strains belonging to recombinant pmpH variants from Madrid, non-recombinant genes were concatenated and phylogenies were obtained using a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo method implemented in BEAST v program.
