Any disease has different hazards to human health. Therefore, in the treatment of the disease, the method must be chosen correctly, so that it will be of great help to the improvement of the disease and prevent the disease from continuing to develop. So what is Chlamydia trachomatis? Many people are not very clear about this. After such a disease occurs, it is necessary to have a good understanding of it.

When Chlamydia trachomatis appears, it must be treated promptly. This type of disease poses a great threat to human health. Moreover, if you do not actively cooperate with the treatment after the disease occurs, the disease will become more serious.

Chlamydia trachomatis:

Key Features:

1. Gram-negative, round or oval;

2. Contains DNA, RNA and ribosomes;

3. It has a cell wall composed of mucopeptides, which has a structure and composition similar to G-, but lacks or contains only trace amounts of cell wall acid;

4. They have a relatively complex enzyme system that can carry out certain metabolic activities, but they cannot synthesize compounds with high-energy bonds. They must use triphosphates and intermediate metabolites of host cells as energy sources and must survive in living cells;

5. It has a unique developmental cycle and reproduces by binary fission to form inclusion bodies.

6. It is sensitive to many antibiotics and sulfonamides, which can inhibit its growth.

Principles of prevention and treatment:

There is no specific method to prevent trachoma, and vaccines are being tested but their effectiveness is uncertain. Paying attention to personal hygiene, not using public towels and washbasins, and avoiding direct or indirect contact transmission are important measures to prevent trachoma. Prevention of genital chlamydial infection is the same as that of other sexually transmitted diseases.

Treatment generally uses drugs such as rifampicin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, doxycycline and sulfonamide.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of Chlamydia trachomatis.
