Sounds like it?s time to talk about the who, what, where, when, and why of this STI (sexually transmitted infection). Chlamydia is a common STI caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It usually infects the genitals, but can also cause infection in other areas, such as the rectum and throat. Transmission of the bacteria occurs when mucous membranes come in contact with the infected fluids...

Interleukin-6-deficient (IL-6(-/-)) knockout mice had significantly increased Chlamydia trachomatis levels in lung tissue and increased mortality compared to B6129F2/J controls early after intranasal infection. Gamma interferon production and chlamydia-specific antibody levels were consistent with a decreased but reversible Th1-like response in IL-6(-/-) mice. IL-6 is needed for an optimal earl...

Background Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide. It is the commonest cause of non-gonococcal urethritis in men and can cause serious complications in the female reproductive tract if left untreated. Objective The aim of this study is to establish the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in symptomatic patients attending the

BACKGROUND The polymorphic membrane protein D (PmpD) in Chlamydia is structurally similar to autotransporter proteins described in other bacteria and may be involved in cellular and humoral protective immunity against Chlamydia. The mechanism of PmpD post-translational processing and the role of its protein products in the pathogenesis of chlamydial infection have not been very well elucidated ...

Vaccines are needed to prevent the oculogenital diseases of Chlamydia trachomatis. Infected hosts develop immunity, although temporary, and experimental vaccines have yielded significant protective immunity in animal models, fueling the impetus for a vaccine. Because infections cause sequelae, the functional relationship between infection- and vaccine-induced immunity is unclear. We hypothesize...
