Distribution of 16 S rRNA gene sequences assigned to families in the phylum Chlamydiae, C. trachomatis (CT), and non-trachomatis Chlamydiaceae (NTC) among (a) children and (b) adults. Prevalence of classified sequences as CT in the children case group was significantly higher than that in the children control group. The statistical significance is indicated as follows: *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001.
