The natural history of trachoma infection and disease in a Gambian cohort with frequent follow-up. [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: The natural history of ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infections in endemic communities has not been well characterised and is an important determinant of the effectiveness of different mass treatment strategies to prevent blindness due to ...

Studies of human immune responses to various antigenic proteins of Chlamydia trachomatis [PDF]

Chlamydiae are gram-negative bacteria which cause diverse diseases of humans and animals. Chlamydia trachomatis, the focus of this work, causes the blinding eye disease trachoma, and reproductive tract infections.

Estrogens and Chlamydia trachomatis

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1986
Isolates of Chlamydia trachomatis were inoculated in nonreplicating McCoy cells and incubated for 48 hr with various concentrations of hormones. Only the estrogens, particularly 17-beta-estradiol, had an affect on the subsequent infection of the McCoy cells by the Chlamydia.

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

Penicillin kills chlamydia following the fusion of bacteria with Lysosomes and prevents genital inflammatory lesions in C. muridarum-infected mice [PDF]

, 2013
The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia exists as two distinct forms. Elementary bodies (EBs) are infectious and extra-cellular, whereas reticulate bodies (RBs) replicate within a specialized intracellular compartment termed an ‘inclusion ...

Zinc and Chlamydia trachomatis

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1985
Zinc was noted to have significant effects upon the infection of McCoy cells by each of two strains of Chlamydia trachomatis. With a high or low Chlamydia inoculant, the number of infected cells increased up to 200% utilizing supplemental zinc (up to 1 X 10(-4) M) in the inoculation media compared with standard Chlamydia cultivation media (8 X 10(-6) M

Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevalence and Determinants Among Sexual Health Clinic Attendees in Bucharest, Romania

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Cross‐sectional study among 70 sexual health clinic attendees (70% MSM) in Bucharest combining multisite STI testing with knowledge, attitudes, and practices assessment. Key findings include 35.5% bacterial STI prevalence, essential extragenital testing, and cost barriers to screening uptake.
