<p>Studies have rarely assessed the genotype distribution of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) in urine among men attending sexually transmitted disease clinics (MSCs) in China. This study was aimed at investigating the prevalence and molecular epidemiology of CT infection by examining urine samples among MSCs from different geographic areas of Guangdong Province, China. A cross-sectional study was conducted among MSCs from 10 human immunodeficiency virus sentinel surveillance sites in Guangdong Province. CT DNA was extracted from male urine samples and analyzed using a Roche cobas 4800 CT/NG. The ompA genes were amplified by nested PCR and sequenced. The leukocyte esterase test was performed by routine urine analysis at local clinics. Of the 1,903 samples, 163 (8.6%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.8–16.3%) tested positive for CT. The highest prevalence (10.5%) of CT infection was observed among participants aged between 21 and 30 years. A total of 130 CT-positive samples (79.8%, 130/163) were successfully genotyped by nested PCR, resulting in 8 genotypes. The most prevalent genotypes were D, E, F, and J, with proportions of 20.8%, 20.0%, 17.7%, and 16.9%, respectively. There were no significant correlations between the geographical areas, leukocyte esterase test results and genotype distribution. Promotion of detection and molecular epidemiology research is needed for effective and comprehensive prevention and control programs.</p>
