background : as prenatal screening for sexually transmitted infections and treatment of infected pregnant women is not routinely performed in iran and prevalence of two sexually transmitted pathogens, chlamydia trachomatis and mycoplasma genitalium , in sabzevar (east of iran) is unknown, we decided to perform this prospective study. methods : one hundred ninety-six urine specimens of pregnant ...
BACKGROUND This study aimed to estimate rates of chlamydia incidence and re-infection and to investigate the dynamics of chlamydia organism load in prevalent, incident and re-infections among young Australian women. METHODS 1,116 women aged 16 to 25 years were recruited from primary care clinics in Australia. Vaginal swabs were collected at 3 to 6 month intervals for chlamydia testing. Chlamy...
Background Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) contraceptive use is associated with an increased risk for Chlamydia infection. However, prior studies inadequately account for potential differences in sexual behavior between users of DMPA and users of other contraceptive methods. In this study we compare sexual risk-taking behavior in women using DMPA to women using oral contraceptive pills...
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most commonly diagnosed bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide. 2 Numbers of diagnoses have increased over the past 10 years as a result of more sensitive tests and increased testing. Genital infection with C trachomatis is asymptomatic in 50-88% of men and women, and 46% of infections clear spontaneously within a year. Persistent chlamydia infection can...
Background Rigorous estimates for clearance rates of untreated chlamydia infections are important for understanding chlamydia epidemiology and designing control interventions, but were previously only available for women. Methods We used data from published studies of chlamydia-infected men who were retested at a later date without having received treatment. Our analysis allowed new infection...
Among the many theories of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis has been a possible role for infection. However, the possibility that a viral infection initiates or perpetuates damage to the arterial wall has received less attention than other more widely recognized risk factors. Recently, a newly described Chlamydia species, Chlamydia pneumoniae, strain TWAR,' has been associated with atheroscl...
Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) serological studies in populations could help monitor changes in lifetime cumulative risk of infection. We developed a double-antigen sandwich ELISA based on the Ct-specific Pgp3 antigen, then tested blind stored sera from over 800 participants in a New Zealand birth cohort from Dunedin at ages 26, 32 and 38. The double-antigen sandwich ELISA was more sensitive than o...
Chlamydia are obligate intracellular bacteria that replicate in a vacuole inside a host cell. Chlamydial infection has been shown to protect the host cell against apoptotic stimuli. This is likely important for the ability of Chlamydia to reproduce in human cells. Here we show that resistance to apoptosis is conveyed by the destruction of the proapoptotic BH3-only proteins Bim/Bod, Puma, and Ba...
