chlamydiae

Examples of chlamydiae in the following topics:

• Chlamydiae

  • Many chlamydiae coexist in an asymptomatic state within specific hosts.
  • All known chlamydiae only grow by infecting eukaryotic host cells.
  • Chlamydiae can only grow where their host cells grow.
  • Chlamydia trachomatis, which causes the eye-disease trachoma and the sexually transmitted infection chlamydia.
  • Chlamydia infection is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in humans caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis.

• Verrucomicrobia

  • The PVC group includes Chlamydiae, Lentisphaerae, Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, Poribacteria and OP3.
  • This protein has a unique 3 amino acid insert in all sequenced Chlamydiae, Lentisphaerae and Verrucomicrobia species.
  • In addition, a conserved protein of unknown function is present in all sequenced species from the phyla Chlamydiae, Lentisphaerae, Planctomycetes and Verrucomicrobia.
  • The Planctomycetes may be basal to the Chlamydiae-Verrucomicrobia-Lentisphaerae clade.

• Lymphogranuloma Venereum

  • The infectious agents are a few serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis : L1, L2, L2a, L2b and L3.
  • Basic diagram of the life cycle of the Chlamydiae.
  • The infectious agents of Lymphogranuloma venereum are a few serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis: L1, L2, L2a, L2b and L3.

• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

  • The most common infectious agents are Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae which are sexually transmitted.
  • Cells of Chlamydia are visible in the vacuoles.

• Normal Eye Microbiota

  • These include: Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Haemophilus aegyptius, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella spp, Neisseria spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus viridians.
  • Some pathogens able to infect the conjunctiva, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis, are thought to have special processes allowing them to attach to the conjunctival epithelium.
  • Chlamydia and Neisseria may be present in an infected mother and show up on the cervical and vaginal epithelium.

• Special Culture Techniques

  • Exemplified by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis, the bacteria responsible for the sexually transmitted infection (STI) in humans known as Chlamydia.
  • As Chlamydia trachomatis only grows in humans.
  • It includes various bacteria and viruses that cause only mild disease to humans or are difficult to contract via aerosol in a lab setting such as chlamydia.
  • Light microscope view of cells infected with chlamydiae as shown by the brown inclusion bodies.

• Genital Ulcer Diseases

  • Among the most common are Herpes simplex virus (HSV), the genital herpes agent ; Treponema pallidum, that causes syphilis; Chlamydia trachomatis, the cause of chlamydia; and Haemophilus ducreyi, the chancroid agent.

• Bacterial Eye Diseases

  • Bacteria such as Chlamydia trachomatis or Moraxella can cause a non-exudative but persistent conjunctivitis without much redness.
  • Newborns can also develop chlamydia eye infection through childbirth.
  • Chlamydia can affect infants by causing spontaneous abortion, premature birth, and conjunctivitis, which may lead to blindness and pneumonia.
  • Conjunctivitis due to chlamydia typically occurs one week after birth (compared with chemical causes (within hours) or gonorrhea (2–5 days)).

• Nongonococcal Urethritis (NGU)

  • The most common bacterial agent is Chlamydia trachomatis (about a quarter to half of all NGU cases), though others include Ureaplasma urealyticum, Haemophilus vaginalis and Mycoplasma genitalium.

• Planctomycetes

  • RNA sequencing shows that the planctomycetes are related to the Verrucomicrobia and possibly the Chlamydiae.
