    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.
