Interrelationship between polymorphisms of incA, fusogenic properties of Chlamydia trachomatis strains, and clinical manifestations in patients in The Netherlands.

Site-Specific, Insertional Inactivation of incA in Chlamydia trachomatis Using a Group II Intron

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate, intracellular bacterial pathogen that has until more recently remained recalcitrant to genetic manipulation. However, the field still remains hindered by the absence of tools to create selectable, targeted chromosomal mutations. Previous work with mobile group II introns demonstrated that they can be retargeted by altering DNA sequences within the intron's ...

P-204: Relative Frequency of Chlamydia Trachomatis Infection in Infertile Women

Background: The majority of Chlamydia trachomatis infections in women are asymptomatic, but they may give rise to tubal infertility. Screening programmes aim at reducing morbidity in individual by early detect and treatment, and at decreasing the overall prevalence of infection in the population. Materials and Methods: A total of 135 women presenting with a history of infertility(n=113(83.7%) p...

P-41: Association Study of MICA*008 Gene Polymorphism with Chlamydia Trachomatis Infection in Infertile Men Reffer to Royan Institute

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis(CT) is an obligate intracellular bacteria, requires living cells to replicate itself. CT infection can remain up to 4 years in the couple and affect their fertility. The relationship between CT and infertility is very important because most patients are asymptomatic and untreated. After infection with CT, NK activation signals begin through interactions of its ...

Anti-Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies and abortion in women referring to

Introduction: Fetal loss and abortion are responsible for significant emotional distress for couples desiring children. Regarding the etiologic importance, this study has been carried out to determine the prevalence of Anti-Chlamydia trachomatis antibodies in normal women and women with abortion. Methods: In this descriptive study 120 women with definite diagnosis of abortion as patients and ...
