Outline of the Article
Importance of sequencing the Chlamydia trachomatis genome
- C. trachomatis causes several diseases in human beings, including trachoma, which leads to blindness.
- C. trachomatis infections in humans may increase the risk of HIV infection.
- At the time the article was released, little was known about the two developmental stages of C. trachomatis (i.e. the elementary body and the reticulate body) as well as the bacterial pathogen's physiology and genetics.
