   Författare :Markus Klint; Björn Herrmann; Jonas Blomberg; Michael Ward; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chlamydia trachomatis; Lymphogranuloma venereum; Genotyping; MLST; nvCT; hctB; Hc2; Clinical bacteriology; Klinisk bakteriologi; Klinisk bakteriologi; Clinical Bacteriology;

   Sammanfattning : A general aim was to combine molecular typing methods with clinical background information to increase epidemiological knowledge about Chlamydia trachomatis infections.An outbreak of Lymfogranuloma venereum (LGV), caused by a more invasive variant of C. trachomatis, was reported from the Netherlands in 2003 among men who have sex with men (MSM).

3. 7. Detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium by genetic and serological methods

   Författare :Margaretha Jurstrand; Hans Fredlund; Erik Kihlström; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Chlamydia trachomatis; genotyping; contact tracing; sexually transmitted diseases; Mycoplasma genitalium; PCR; serology; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : Chlamydia trachomatis infections are associated with a spectrum of clinical diseases including urethritis, prostatitis and epididymitis among men and cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), with an increased risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancy (EP), among women. In the search for other pathogens causing urethritis, Mycoplasma genitalium was isolated from urethral specimens from two men with acute urethritis (1980). LÄS MER

4. 8. Genital tract CD4+ T cells for vaccination and protection against Chlamydia trachomatis

   Författare :Ellen Marks; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Chlamydia; T cell differentiation; genital tract; vaccination; costimulation; Th1; Th2; Th17; Tregs;

   Sammanfattning : Vaccination strategies for protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are lacking due to an incomplete understanding of genital tract T cell responses. This thesis dissects the generation of T helper subsets, including the recently discovered Th17 subset, during genital tract infection with a common sexually transmitted pathogen, Chlamydia trachomatis, and addresses vaccine requirements for the generation of genital tract CD4+ T cell immunity.

5. 9. High Resolution Genotyping of Chlamydia trachomatis

   Författare :Linus Christerson; Björn Herrmann; Markus Klint; Björn Olsen; Ian Clarke; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chlamydia trachomatis: multilocus sequence typing: MLST: genotyping: lymphogranuloma venereum: new variant C. tracomatis: nvCT: multilocus typing DNA microarray: MLT array; Clinical bacteriology; Klinisk bakteriologi; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium of major human health concern, causing urogential chlamydia infections, lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) and trachoma. Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide and can cause infertility. LÄS MER

7. 10. Chlamydia trachomatis as a risk factor for infertility in women and men, and ovarian tumor development

   Författare :Annika Idahl; Ulrika Ottander; Jan I Olofsson; Eva Lundin; Fredrik Elgh; Jorma Paavonen; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antibodies; borderline tumors; Chlamydia trachomatis; cHSP60; DNA; infertility; ovarian cancer; pregnancy rate; RNA; semen characteristics; Obstetrics and gynaecology; Obstetrik och gynekologi; obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Chlamydia trachomatis in women is a risk factor for tubal factor infertility and extra uterine pregnancies, but the impact of a C. trachomatis infection on male fertility is unclear. It is also hypothesized that persistent infection with C. trachomatis, or other microorganisms, might initiate/promote ovarian tumor development. LÄS MER
