O02.4 Persistent/Recurrent Chlamydial Infection Among STD Clinic Patients Treated with CDC-Recommended Therapies [PDF]

Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2013
BackgroundCDC guidelines recommend azithromycin or doxycycline as treatments for chlamydial infection. Recently, one randomised trial comparing these therapies suggested doxycycline was superior, while another found the two therapies were equivalent.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL exacerbates orthotopic allograft transplantation vasculopathy via impairment of endothelial cell function

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Orthotopic allograft transplantation (OAT) is a significant approach to addressing organ failure. However, persistent immune responses to the allograft affect chronic rejection, which induces OAT vasculopathy (OATV) and organ failure. Porphyromonas gingivalis can infiltrate remote organs via the bloodstream, thereby intensifying the severity ...

Host immune responses after hypoxic reactivation of IFN-γ induced persistent Chlamydia trachomatis infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
Genital tract infections with Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) are the most frequent sexually transmitted disease worldwide. Severe clinical sequelae such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), tubal occlusion and tubal infertility are linked to ...

Persistent and acute chlamydial infections induce different structural changes in the Golgi apparatus

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2014
Chlamydia trachomatis causes a wide range of diseases that have a significant impact on public health. Acute chlamydial infections can cause fragmentation of the Golgi compartment ensuring the lipid transportation from the host cell. However, the changes that occur in the host cell Golgi apparatus after persistent infections are unclear.

A Randomised Trial of Three Face‐Washing Methods for the Removal of Chlamydia trachomatis From the Faces of Children With Severe Active Trachoma

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives A three‐arm, open, parallel‐group randomised trial compared three face‐washing methods for cleaning Chlamydia trachomatis from the faces of children with severe active trachoma. The impact of face‐washing on Chlamydia trachomatis on the hands of children and their caregivers and Chlamydia trachomatis duration on faces and hands were

Chlamydia Exploit the Mammalian Tryptophan-Depletion Defense Strategy as a Counter-Defensive Cue to Trigger a Survival State of Persistence.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
We previously proposed that in Chlamydiaceae rapid vegetative growth and a quiescent state of survival (persistence) depend upon alternative protein translational profiles dictated by host tryptophan (Trp) availability.

Antimicrobial Activity of Ultraviolet C Light as a Potential Novel Treatment for Moraxella bovis Infection—An In Vitro Study

Veterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the antimicrobial effect of 275 nm wavelength ultraviolet C (UV‐C) light on M. bovis using an affordable, broadly available modified handheld device and to determine if photoreactivation plays a role in bacterial resistance to UV‐C. Methods UV‐C therapy (UVCT) was evaluated in vitro using triplicates of 3 M.
