1
Common strains = disease in the genital tract
Disease caused depending on the strain Chlamydia trachomata’s
Other strains = disease in eye
Eye Infection lead to blindness (trachoma
disease )
Eye inflammation (conjunctivitis disease )
Bacteria Family: Enterbacteraceae -Motile (able to swim
in its environment)- faculatativd anaerobe .
2
Urinary tract infection (UTIs) Escherichia coli
Neonatal sepsis
Diseases it can cause
Meningitis
Diarrheal diseases
All 4 are Gram -
Fastidious (has complex nutritional
requirements to grow)
Pleomorphic (able to change shape) Features
Opportunistic pathogen Pathogene
Transmit through respiratory droplets via
direct contact 3
Effect: infants and young children Haemophilus influenza
Bacteriemia
Type B (Hip)
Pneumonia
