BACTERIOLOGY - CHAPTER TWENTY CHLAMYDIA TEACHING OBJECTIVES To describe the developmental cycle of chlamydia To describe the pathogenesis, epidemiology and clinical syndromes associated with chlamydia KEY WORDS Elementary bodies Reticulate bodies Inclusion Biovar Serovar Trachoma Inclusion conjunctivitis LGV Reiter's syndrome Psittacosis Ornithosis TWAR agent Chlamydia The family Chlamydiaceae consists of one genus Chlamydia with three species that cause human disease: C. trachomatis, which can cause urogenital infections, trachoma, conjunctivitis, pneumonia and lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) C. pneumoniae, which can cause bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia and possibly atherosclerosis C. psittaci , which can cause pneumonia (psittacosis). Chlamydia are small obligate intracellular parasites and were once considered to be viruses. However, they contain DNA, RNA and ribosomes and make their own proteins and nucleic acids and are now considered to be true bacteria. They possess an inner and outer membrane similar gram-negative bacteria and a lipopolysaccharide but do not have a peptidoglycan layer. Although they synthesize most of their metabolic intermediates, they are unable to make their own ATP and thus are energy parasites. I. Physiology and Structure

44. Chlamydia's Quick Cure Effective screening methods and drug treatments are available for the sexually transmitteddisease chlamydia, which often has no symptoms and without treatment http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/1999/499_std.html

Table of Contents FDA Consumer magazine July-August 1999 Chlamydia's Quick Cure Fight Against 'Silent' STD Includes New Screening Test, One-Dose Drug by Tamar Nordenberg Anna Lange (not her real name) had no symptoms when she went to a Wake County, N.C., sexually transmitted diseases clinic earlier this year to pick up her birth control pills. But a routine test revealed that the 20-year-old Lange had chlamydia. "She came in and had no complaints," says Peter Leone, M.D., the clinic's medical director, "and then 'boom'she was diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease." The sexually transmitted disease chlamydia usually comes with no telltale symptoms, so most people don't even know when they are infected. But left untreated, the so-called "silent epidemic" of chlamydia threatens to cause reproductive damage and infertility in many of the 3 million to 4 million Americans who get it each year. "Chlamydia's consequences can be devastating," says Diane Mitchell, M.D., an obstetrician-gynecologist and medical reviewer with the Food and Drug Administration. Routine chlamydia screening and early, effective treatment are the keys to reducing chlamydia's toll, according to Penny Hitchcock, chief of the National Institutes of Health's sexually transmitted disease branch. Two recent medical advances, she says, constitute "very important breakthroughs" in controlling the rampant disease: a new drug treatment recently approved by FDA to cure chlamydia in a single oral dose, and a urine-based screening test that, unlike other tests, does not require a swab sample of cells from the genital area.

CHLAMYDIA Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are among the most common infectious diseases in the United States today, affecting more than 13 million men and women annually. Among the more than 20 STDs that have now been identified, chlamydia is the most frequently reported, with an estimated 4 million new cases each year. In Illinois, there were 32,870 cases of chlamydia reported in 1999. Most of these cases74 percentoccurred among persons 15- to 24-years-old. What is chlamydia? Chlamydial infections are caused by a bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis , and are transmitted during vaginal, oral or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases estimates that the cost of chlamydial infections and subsequent complications exceeds $2 billion annually. What are the symptoms? If symptoms appear at all, it is usually one to four weeks after exposure. Women report vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding between periods, abdominal pain that is sometimes accompanied by fever and nausea, and burning or pain during urination. Men with the infection report burning or pain during urination and a discharge from the penis. About half of infected women and about one-quarter of infected men, however, may have no symptoms at all. This is one reason chlamydia is dangerous: Asymptomatic individuals do not seek treatment and therefore can pass the infection on to others. Untreated individuals also can develop complications from the infection.

Chlamydia Psittaci (Parrot Fever) Infection in Companion Birds By Dr. Thomas Tully, Jr. Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine Baton Rouge, LA 70803 From the Z.A.P. Action Group Quarterly newsletter Note from the Editor Dr. Thomas Tully, Jr. is presently involved in research to develop a successful vaccine to control Chlamydia psittaci (Psittacosis) in companion and breeding psittacines. We hope to keep you informed as this important research continues to develop This information is taken from Bonnie Munro Doane's book, The Parrot in Health and Illness. Transmission and Infection The two routes of transmission of psittacosis are respiratory and oral. Respiratory transmission insides the inhalation of infected particles of fecal, ocular, nasal, and respiratory discharges, and feather dust. Oral transmission includes the ingestion of food and water contaminated with Chlamydia bearing feces Parents that are carriers can infect their nestling via the regurgitated food they feed the babies A prior infection of psittacosis does not guarantee the bird is immune from reinfection. Due to the fact that C. psittaci lives "inside" the cells of its host it does not stimulate high production of antibodies against Chlamydia

Copies of the conference report will be available soon and can be obtained from Eileen Neail by fax on 01865 226978. They will be posted on Bandolier 's Internet site. But more information becomes available every month, with some good thinking on cost-effectiveness recently [1]. Screening Because Chlamydial infection is often asymptomatic, especially in women, approaches to treating it are often on a population basis; this amounts to screening. Screening has had a bad press, partly because screening programmes (of which there are over 300 operating in the UK) have often been started without the exhaustive thought and testing needed to show that they work and can be effective and cost-effective. The effectiveness of a screening programme depends on a combination both of test accuracy and therapeutic effectiveness. But screening is not straightforward. It has been said that all screening programmes do harm; some can also do good. And screening programmes are just that - a programme rather than just a test or just a treatment, and as programmes they need good management to be effective and efficient in the long term. One way of approaching screening is to use evidence from various sources to model effectiveness and cost-effectiveness on a real population. A study on 7,700 women in Baltimore does just that [1], and is a useful read for anyone contemplating Chlamydia screening, or any screening programme, come to that.

The Facts About... Chlamydia trachomatis What is Chlamydia trachomatis? Chlamydia trachomatis is a small bacterium that cannot grow outside a living cell. In this respect it resembles a virus, but it is actually a very sophisticated organism. There are two other related organisms: Chlamydia psittaci is widespread in animals and can be transmitted to humans. This organism in humans is an uncommon cause of severe pneumonia particularly when acquired from infected birds of the parrot (Psittacine) family, and occasionally of abortion following contact with infected sheep. The more recently described Chlamydia pneumoniae (also known as the TWAR agent - Taiwan Acute Respiratory, after the designations of the first two isolates), may prove to be a frequent cause of upper and lower respiratory infection transmitted from person to person by infected droplets. Which diseases does it cause? Worldwide, the most important disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis is trachoma, one of the commonest infectious causes of blindness. In some parts of the developing world, over 90% of the population becomes infected. However, the specific strains of Chlamydia trachomatis which cause trachoma and the epidemiological conditions for its spread, are not found in the UK. In Britain, the organism often causes genital tract infection. In men

57. Chlamydia And Gonorrhea - Health Information Health information discussing chlamydia (one of the most prevalent sexually transmittedinfections) and gonorrhea (a bacterial infection that often coexists http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/health-info/dis-cond/commdis/chlamydi.html

Chlamydia and Gonorrhea CHLAMYDIA Chlamydia (chlamydia trachomatis) is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections. This bacterial infection affects 3-4 million people each year. It is the most common cause of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy and infertility in women. Chlamydia is a frequent cause of testicular and prostate infections and is the most common cause of sterility in men. GONORRHEA Gonorrhea (neisseria gonorrhoeae) is a bacterial infection that often co-exists with chlamydia. Approximately 600,000 new gonorrhea infections occur every year. These bacteria can also cause PID, ectopic pregnancy and sterility in women and testicular and prostate infections in men. TRANSMISSION/SYMPTOMS Chlamydia and gonorrhea are transmitted through vaginal and anal sexual contact. Both infections cause symptoms for some people while other people have no recognizable symptoms at all. For women, symptoms include a change in the color or texture of vaginal discharge, irregular bleeding or spotting, vaginal burning, or pain and burning with urination. Pelvic pain may indicate that the bacteria have progressed into the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. Because it is more common that women may not have recognizable symptoms, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all sexually active adolescent and young adult women be tested during their annual exam. Any woman having new or multiple partners should request testing.

ImmuNet Chlamydia Fact Sheet PDF Version of this Fact Sheet Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is the bacterium that causes chlamydia and trachoma, an eye disease. Chlamydia is spread by sexual contact or from mother to baby The bacterium is found in infected body fluids from the penis or vagina and spread by direct sexual contact. If a woman has chlamydia and is not treated, she may get a serious infection in her reproductive organs, making it difficult for her to have children. The eyes, ears, and lungs of babies can get infected if the mother has chlamydia at the time of childbirth. This type of lung infection in babies can be very serious. Many men and women can have chlamydia and have no symptoms. They can still pass it to their sex partners even if they have no symptoms.

(AP) More than 4 percent of young adults in the United States are infected with chlamydia, and the sexually transmitted disease is six times more common in blacks than in whites, researchers say. In a nationally representative study of 14,322 people ages 18 to 26 conducted in 2001-02, University of North Carolina researchers found that 4.7 percent of women and 3.6 percent of men had chlamydia. The overall prevalence was 4.2 percent. The researchers said their figures are slightly higher than some previous nationwide estimates, which were based on different methodology. The prevalence was lowest among whites - 1.94 percent - and highest among blacks - 12.54 percent. Other infection rates were 10.4 percent of Native Americans, 5.9 percent of Hispanics and 2 percent of Asian-Americans. Similar racial and gender disparities have been found in previous studies.
