Metachlamydia
Metachlamydia is a genus of bacteria that belongs to the family Chlamydiaceae. Like other bacteria within this family, metachlamydia is an obligate intracellular pathogen, meaning it requires the presence of a host cell to reproduce. Metachlamydia infections are typically restricted to the genitourinary tract of mammals, and they are primarily transmitted through sexual contact.
Metachlamydia bacterial species are characterized by their small cell size and the unique developmental cycle in
Human infections with metachlamydia are relatively common, with several bacterial species having been identified as causative
The pathogenesis of metachlamydia infections involves the modulation of host immune responses and the induction of
Given the significant genitourinary consequences of metachlamydia infections, the development of effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies
