   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

3. 7. Chlamydia trachomatis: Development of molecular typing methods and applications in epidemiology

   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).

4. 8. 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

5. 9. 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

7. 10. Implementation of strategies for management and prevention of sexually transmitted infections with focus on Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis

   Författare :Ronza Hadad; Magnus Unemo; Hans Fredlund; Susanne Jacobsson; Kate Seib; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neisseria gonorrhoeae; epidemiology; whole-genome sequencing; antimicrobial resistance AMR ; Chlamydia trachomatis; vaccine; strategies; management and prevention;

   Sammanfattning : Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a public health issue of great importance worldwide, with effects on fertility and reproduction. Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, causative agents of chlamydia and gonorrhoea, respectively, are the most common bacterial STIs with an estimated 127 million new global cases of chlamydia and 87 million new gonorrhoea cases.
