Study Notes
Overview of STDs and STIs
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) spread between hosts through sexual behaviors and vehicle transmission.
- Many STDs present few early symptoms, making early detection challenging and increasing transmissibility.
- Difficulty in contacting, notifying, or treating sexual partners contributes to the spread of STDs.
Pathogens Involved
- Pathogens responsible for STDs include bacteria, protists, viruses, and some parasitic invertebrates.
Bacterial STIs: Chlamydia
- Caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, a gram-negative obligate intracellular parasite.
- Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections globally.
- It significantly contributes to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in females.
- Infected females often remain asymptomatic but may experience urethritis, dysuria (painful urination), and increased urinary frequency.
