Chlamydia, Surface of Oviduct, TEM

Description: Chlamydia on the surface of the oviduct. Chlamydia cause the sexually transmitted disease lymphogranuloma venereum and eye diseases trachoma and inclusion conjunctivitis (TRIC), as well as non-specific urethritis, otitis media and cervicitis. Chlamydiae is a bacterial phylum and class whose members are obligate intracellular pathogens. They are ovoid in shape. They have a peptidoglycan-free cell wall and are susceptible to various antimicrobial agents. All known chlamydiae only grow by infecting eukaryotic host cells. They are as small as or smaller than many viruses. Chlamydiae replicate inside the host cells and are termed intracellular.
