A 24-year-old woman comes to see you in the office for a routine prenatal visit. She is on her 32nd week of pregnancy, which has been uncomplicated. She does not use tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. She previously swam regularly until six weeks ago. The Chlamydia cultures done in the first prenatal screening visit were negative. Her repeat screening cultures done a week ago came back positive. She has had two heterosexual partners before her marriage two years ago. She has been in a monogamous relationship with her husband for the last two years. She is concerned about the results, and is wondering how she got the infection during her pregnancy.
Which of the following is the most likely explanation of the results?
