Description

Chlamydia are Gram-negative bacteria adapted to intracellular life. Within this genus, 3 species have been distinguished:
Chlamydia psittaci (causes ornithosis in humans), Chlamydia pneumoniae (accompanies respiratory infections)
and Chlamydia trachomatis (responsible for genitourinary infections).
In adults, Chalmydia trachomatis infections
are transmitted by sexual contact. They cause venereal granulomatosis of the groin (Nicholas and Favre's disease),
cervicitis, non-gonococcal urethritis.
