【Abstract】 Chlamydial infe CTions cause a wide range of acute and chronic diseases. Urogenital tract infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis( CT)( serovars D-K) are the most common sexually transmitted baCT erial diseases worldwide and may result in pelvic inflammatory disease,ectopic pregnancy and infertility. Ocular infe CTions by CT( serovars A-C) are the leading cause of infectious blindness. Chlamydia are obligate,intracellular baCT eria with a biphasic developmental cycle that involves unique metabol-ic changes. In this article,the recent advances on the biological characteristics,immunity and pathogenicity of Chlamydia trachomatis and their interactions with host cells were reviewed.更多还原
