This site brought to you by: CHLAMYDIA The most commonly reported infectious disease in the United States, chlamydia, also classifies as one of the most dangerous sexually transmitted infections among women today. The disease is particularly common among teens and young adults. Genital chlamydia is the leading cause of preventable infertility and ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when the fertilized egg implants in tissue outside of the uterus and the placenta and fetus begin to develop there. Because many chlamydia infections are asymptomatic and probably chronic, widespread screening with appropriate treatment is necessary to control this infection.

Dr Rob Hicks Chlamydia is one of the most common and easily treated sexually transmitted infections, yet it often goes unnoticed until it has seriously affected a person's fertility. Here are the symptoms to watch out for and the treatments available. What is it? Symptoms Treatment Prevention Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection. It's caused by the bacteria chlamydia trachomatis and is easily passed between people who have unprotected sex. Estimates vary, but it's thought that one to two per cent of people have chlamydia, many without knowing it. Studies suggest that 70 per cent of women and 50 per cent of men who have chlamydia have no symptoms. When symptoms do appear, women may notice: Men with the infection are more likely to have noticeable symptoms. These include:

INTRODUCTION During the past 15 years several viruses, including herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, and coxsackie B virus, have been implicated in heart disease. Chlamydia pneumoniae is one of the new, emerging infectious agents which was recently linked to atherosclerosis. The chlamydia are obligate intracellular bacteria characterized by a unique growth cycle and responsible for a wide variety of diseases in man and animals. Three different species of the genus chlamydia are recognized. And the newly designated species Chlamydia pneumoniae is not what you would expect. It is less famous than its cousins which cause sexually transmitted disease (C. trachomatis) or conjunctivitis (C. psittaci), but it is far more widespread and may be far more dangerous. We will all encounter this bacterium sooner or later, most of us more than once. It is commonly spread through coughs and sneezes, causing a flulike respiratory condition that sometimes progresses to pneumonia. A high proportion of adults from different countries are positive for antibodies to C. pneumoniae, implying a high prevalence of these infections.

     Extractions: In this article, the terms "sexually transmitted infections" and "STIs" are replacing the outdated terminology "sexually transmitted diseases" and "STDs." Sexually transmitted infections (STIs, formerly sexually transmitted diseases or STDs) are infections that can be transferred from one person to another through sexual contact. Sexually transmitted infections have probably been around for thousands of years, but the most worrisome, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS, has only been recognized since 1984. It is important to realize that sexual contact includes more than just sexual intercourse (vaginal and anal). Sexual contact includes kissing, oral-genital contact, and the use of sexual "toys," such as vibrators. Most STIs are treatable. However, even the once easily cured gonorrhea has become resistant to many of the older traditional antibiotics. Other STIs, such as herpes, AIDS, and genital

     Extractions: Chlamydia is a bacterial infection caused by chlamydia trachomatis. The infection is acquired mainly through sexual intercourse. In addition to transmission through vaginal intercourse, it is possible to contract chlamydia through anal intercourse. Oral sex that includes ejaculation with an infected partner may lead to a chlamydial throat infection. What are the symptoms of chlamydia and when do they appear? Up to 75% of chlamydia cases in women and 25% of cases in men are asymptomatic (no symptoms). When symptoms are present, they usually appear within 1-3 weeks of exposure and may be very mild. Symptoms can include abnormal genital discharge (discharge from the vagina, cervix, urethra, anus) and burning during urination. Men can have swelling or pain in the testicles, pain or burning during urination and discharge from the penis. Women can experience lower abdominal pain, pain during intercourse, spot bleeding between menstrual periods or after intercourse.

     Extractions: The genome sequences of Chlamydia trachomatis mouse pneumonitis (MoPn) strain Nigg (1 069 412 nt) and Chlamydia pneumoniae strain AR39 (1 229 853 nt) were determined using a random shotgun strategy. The MoPn genome exhibited a general conservation of gene order and content with the previously sequenced C.trachomatis serovar D. Differences between C.trachomatis strains were focused on an ~50 kb 'plasticity zone' near the termination origins. In this region MoPn contained three copies of a novel gene encoding a >3000 amino acid toxin homologous to a predicted toxin from Escherichia coli 0157:H7 but had apparently lost the tryptophan biosyntheis genes found in serovar D in this region. The C.pneumoniae AR39 chromosome was >99.9% identical to the previously sequenced C.pneumoniae CWL029 genome, however, comparative analysis identified an invertible DNA segment upstream of the uridine kinase gene which was in different orientations in the two genomes. AR39 also contained a novel 4524 nt circular single-stranded (ss)DNA bacteriophage, the first time a virus has been reported infecting C.pneumoniae

     Extractions: University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension NF91-28 Psittacosis (Chlamydia Psittaci Infections) in Pet Birds By Eva Wallner-Pendleton, Extension Veterinarian Companion birds continue to increase in popularity as pets in the United States. Birds most frequently kept belong to the family psittacidae, or the parrot family. Although domestic breeding of parrots is becoming more widespread, a large number of birds are still imported from outside the United States. By law, these birds must enter the country through quarantine stations. There they spend at least 30 days and are tested for disease and fed food containing tetracycline, an antibiotic. The antibiotic treatment is to hopefully eliminate infections with Chlamydia psittaci, the bacterium that causes psittacosis. Psittacosis is a complex disease that affects many species of wild birds, and occasionally, humans that are in close contact with birds. The organism is shed in the feces and respiratory secretions of infected birds. Other birds pick up the organism by inhaling contaminated aerosols. Although infected birds may become extremely ill and die, most birds usually become asymptomatic carriers. They carry the organism in their bodies, shed the organism in their feces, but do not become ill, unless severely stressed. Without specific tests, it can be difficult to differentiate a negative from a positive psittacosis carrier. Psittacosis infections in people are usually mild, resulting in non-specific flu-like symptoms. Occasionally, however, severe bacterial pneumonia may occur which may require hospitalization. If untreated, psittacosis infections in humans may rarely result in death. Fortunately, the disease is very responsive to tetracycline therapy.

     Extractions: genome gateway papers Chlamydia pneumoniae Chlamydia pneumoniae is a obligate intracellular eubacterium, that is a natural pathogen of humans, and causes pneumonia and bronchitis. In the United States, approximately 10% of pneumonia cases and 5% of bronchitis cases are attributed to C. pneumoniae infection. Little is known about the biology of C. pneumoniae and in an effort to learn more the genome was sequenced and compared to that of C. trachomatis , the pathogen responsible for eye infection that can lead to blindness, and sexually transmitted diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease. Comparison of the C. pneumoniae genome with the C. trachomatis genome allowed the researchers to investigate the common biological processes required for infection and survival in mammalian cells.

     Extractions: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis Chlamydia Chlamydia is the most prevalent STD in the U.S. It is most common among people in their late teens and early twenties and can coexist with gonorrhea and other STDs. It is estimated that one in five college students are infected with Chlamydia. The infection is most commonly transmitted through sexual intercourse. Babies can also be infected while passing through the birth canal of an infected mother. If Chlamydia is left untreated, women can develop Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) . There is also an increased danger of having an ectopic pregnancy if Chlamydia is left untreated. People with Chlamydia do not necessarily know that they are infected. Sixty to eighty percent of women and ten percent of men who have Chlamydia exhibit no symptoms. In women, symptoms include: genital itching and burning, vaginal discharge, dull pelvic pain, bleeding between periods, and cervical inflammation. In men, symptoms include: mucus discharge from the penis (gradual onset five to twenty-one days after exposure) and painful urination. Again, these symptoms may be so mild that a man may not notice them. Treatment with an antibiotic is usually successful. Some people choose to be retested after the course of treatment has been completed. Testing for Chlamydia is performed at the Health Center free on request.
