  17. A bacteria responsible for a sexually transmitted infection that can affect the tubes by causing permanent damage and thus infertility. Often occurs without significant symptoms.
  18. a bacterial infection of the pelvic organs and urinary tract transmitted by sexual activity.
  19. Obligate intracellular parasites, unable to grow outside host cells because they cannot synthesize many basic biomolecules (e.g., amino acids, ATP) and require these from their host cell. ...
  20. a kind of bacteria that is responsible for infections of the genital tract, especially through sexual transmission.
  21. Chlamydiae, once thought to be viruses because of their small size, cause numerous human diseases. C. trachomatis is the causative agent of conjunctivitis (inflammation of the outer surface of the eye), infant pneumonia, and urogenital chlamydia. ...
