What Is Chlamydia Trachomatis?

Chlamydia trachomatis is a kind of microorganism. Currently it has 15 serotypes. Different serotypes can cause different diseases. Divided into 3 biotypes, namely the mouse biotype (biovarmouse), trachoma biotype (biovartrachoma) and STD lymphogranuloma biotype. The latter two are related to human diseases. Using the indirect micro-immunofluorescence test, trachoma biotypes are further divided into A, B, Ba, C, D, Da, E, F, G, H, I, Ia, J, K 14 serotypes, and LGV biotypes have L1 and L1. L2, L2a, L34 serotypes.

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) can cause a variety of diseases, such as trachoma, and is also related to human urogenital diseases, such as non-gonococcal urethritis, vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, etc. Infants can transmit neonatal conjunctivitis and pneumonia, and can cause premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, and neonatal death. Therefore, the diagnosis of CT infection is very important, and the testing methods mainly rely on laboratory methods. The laboratory tests of CT mainly include microbiological methods, immunological methods, and molecular biological detection methods ^[1]

The prevention of trachoma mainly focuses on personal hygiene and avoids direct or indirect contact with infection. There is currently no specific prevention method. The prevention of genitourinary tract chlamydia infection should be widely carried out to promote STD knowledge, ban prostitutes, and actively treat patients and carriers. ^[3]

Newlyweds should be tested for chlamydia before preparing for pregnancy. If there is a chlamydia infection, they should be pregnant after being cured. Second, if the test is positive during early pregnancy, they should be treated in time to avoid damage to the fetus. Chlamydia is a disease transmitted through sexual contact, and there are also indirect infections. Therefore, it is of great significance for couples to pay attention to sexual health and prevent unclean sex life for the prevention of chlamydia infection ^[4] .
