chlamydia

Chlamydial conjunctivitis, also known as adult inclusion conjunctivitis, is caused by the bacterial microorganism Chlamydia trachomatis and typically affects young, sexually active adults with genital chlamydial infection.

The higher screening uptake rate should, within less than 5 years, cut the prevalence of chlamydial infection in these girls and women from the current levels of 3% to nearly 1%, and in the same time frame it should also drop infection rates among men from just over 2% to below 1%, said Dr.

The explanation for the observed higher failure rate with azithromycin compared with doxycycline in treating chlamydial NGU is probably twofold: homotypic resistance of the organism to a single dose of a bacteriostatic antibiotic, coupled with heterotopic resistance stemming from a persistent subpopulation of cells haying a reduced growth rate within the larger pathogen load, Dr.

Incidence and reinfection rates of genital chlamydial infection among women aged 16-24 years attending general practice, family planning and genitourinary medicine clinics in England: a prospective cohort study by the Chlamydia Recall Study Advisory Group.

Previously people have been unable to study chlamydial genetics and this has created a barrier to the comprehensive study of this disease.

Male circumcision and women's risk of incident chlamydial, gonococcal, and trichomonal infections.

Chlamydiae have a slow developmental cycle, which explains the insidious onset of chlamydial infection (Mgiga 2006).

United States Preventative Services Task Force Guidelines: Screening for chlamydial infection.

1-3) Chlamydial reinfections (CR) may significantly add to the existing burden.

Chlamydial cervicitis is characterized by erythema, edema and friability of the cervix, purulent yellow or green endocervical discharge, and dyspareunia.

In a randomized controlled trial of an STD prevention program designed specifically for this group, intervention participants had lower risks than controls of acquiring chlamydia and of having a recurrent chlamydial infection over a 12-month follow-up period (risk ratios, 0.

Many cases undiagnosed GENITAL chlamydial infection is a sexually-transmitted infection caused by the bacterium, chlamydia trachomatis.

In other cases, confirmed cases of chlamydial infection may not be reported even though chlamydial infection is a notifiable disease.

Some areas studied include a mathematical-model approach to chlamydial infection in Japan, time-inhomogeneous Markov chains and ergodicity arising from nonlinear dynamic systems and optimization, solutions to open problems in n-dimensional fluid dynamics, exact penalty functions for constrained optimization problems, and the development of Lyapunov's direct method in the application to new types of problems of hydrodynamic stability theory.

ReadyCells also allow year-round cell culture availability with minimal on-hand inventory, and are available for respiratory and herpes virus cultures, enterovirus culture, and chlamydial culture.
