Chlamydia bacterium. Computer artwork of the non-replicating infectious form of the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis,known as an elementary body (EB). The EB is surrounded by a cell envelope (green) covered in protein spikes (gold) that inject material into the host cells. Within the EB are ribosomes (red),the site of protein synthesis. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that can go undetected causing infertility. It also causes the eye disease trachoma,which can lead to blindness | |
