False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) Chlamydia sp. ,a genus of small,spherical bacteria which are obligate intra-cellular parasites. This section shows the organisms (pink spheres) within a human cell. Chlamydia trachomatis includes strains responsible for the sexually- transmitted disease lymphogranuloma venereum and the eye disease trachoma and inclusion conjunctivitis (TRIC).
