A new study has identified markers that may predict whether a chlamydia infection is likely to ascend into the uterus and endometrium. The work, published in Infection and Immunity, could lead to new ...

Remarkably little is known about how intracellular pathogens exit the host cell in order to infect new hosts. Pathogenic chlamydiae egress by first rupturing their replicative niche (the inclusion) ...

Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by bacteria. The infection often doesn’t cause any symptoms. Even if you don’t have symptoms, chlamydia needs to be treated. Though ...
