Chlamydial infection in uterus. Coloured Trans- mission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria (background),with artwork of the female reproductive tract superimposed. It symbolises Chlamydia as cause of the sexually transmitted diseases lymphogranuloma venereum and non-specific urethritis (NSU). These Gram-negative spherical bacteria cannot live outside the cells of their host. Sexually transmitted infections may lead to urethritis in men,and cervicitis of the cervix in women. If untreated in women,pelvic inflammatory disease may occur with swelling of the fallopian tubes which can cause sterility. Magnification of TEM: x20,000 at 6x4.5cm size | |
