Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from 58.5% of 159 patients with non-specific urethritis (NSU) using irradiated McCoy cell cultures. Patients with persistent Chlamydia-positive NSU remained Chlamydia-positive each time they were examined before treatment and patients with Chlamydia-negative NSU remained Chlamydia-negative during the course of the illness. Neither the duration of symptoms of u...

background: nowadays, chlamydia trachomatis is known as a causative agent of infertility. because of, asymptomatic nature of infection, many may suffer from its lasting complications such as infertility. this study was performed in tehran during april 2007 to april 2008 to compare the prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis infection in fertile and infertile women using elisa and pcr methods. metho...

Non-gonococcal infections causes are made up of Chlamydia trachomatis (one of the most common infection Non-Gonococcal), Ureaplasma urealyticum (a possible causal in acute pyelonephritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, curiuamniutis, bacterial vaginosis, preterm birth, Non-Gonococcal urethritis, miscarriage, infertility and spontaneous abortion), Gardnerella vaginalis and Streptococcus agalactiae...

PURPOSE Little is known about the susceptibility of posterior segment tissues, particularly the human retinal pigment epithelium (hRPE), to Chlamydia trachomatis. The purpose of the study was to investigate the possibility of infecting the hRPE with Chlamydia trachomatis, and to examine the infectivity of different Chlamydia trachomatis clinical isolates for hRPE cells and the hRPE cell respons...

background: chlamydia trachomatis is the etiology of most of sexually transmitted diseases. colonization of c. trachomatis in the genital tract during early gestation has been associated with preterm birth, and preterm premature rupture of the membranes. the role of c. trachomatis on spontaneous abortion has not yet been proved completely. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of ...

results: in total, 8.5% of all subjects were positive (11% of symptomatic and 6% of asymptomatic men). statistical analysis revealed an association between condom usage as a variable and infection in asymptomatic group (p ≤ 0.05). conclusions: findings of this study show that chlamydial infection screening especially in males with urogenital symptoms is necessary (at least in tehran) and we rec...

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis infection is reported as the commonest cause of tubal and pelvic by proxy, damage female infertility. Serotypes D-K are known to sexually transmitted genital tract neonatal infection. Testing for presence has been revolutionized development monoclonal antibodies. This study sought determine prevalence among infertile women at University College Hospital Ibadan ...

background chemokines play important roles in immune system activation against microbial infections. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate seminal levels of cxc chemokines cxcl1, cxcl9, cxcl10 and cxcl12 in chlamydia trachomatis infected patients. materials and methods the c. trachomatis infection was determined employing polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-based methods. seminal concentra...

Chlamydia psittaci produces a collection of proteins, termed IncA, IncB, and IncC, that are localized to the chlamydial inclusion membrane. In this report we demonstrate that IncA is also produced by Chlamydia trachomatis. C. trachomatis IncA is structurally similar to C. psittaci IncA and is also localized to the inclusion membrane. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that sera from C. trachomati...

A Chlamydia trachomatis é a bactéria sexualmente transmissível mais comum no mundo. Trata-se de um patógeno intracelular obrigatório gram-negativo, com os sorotipos D e K1 responsáveis por infecções trato genital. C. acomete principalmente mulheres jovens em idade reprodutiva fortemente associada comportamentos risco menor que 25 anos. infecção assintomática cerca 77% das 68% dos homens, o difi...
