Description:Obligate intracellular parasite depending on the host machinery for ATP synthesis.

Chlamydial life cycle comprehends an intracellular metabolically- active "reticular body" and an inert extracellular spore-like "elementary body" equipped with a unique disulfide-cross-linked protein envelope.

Comprehends several biovars responsible for trachoma (primarily in Africa and Asia), male and female sexually-transmitted urogenital infections (world-wide), inclusion conjunctivitis in infants, lynphogranuloma venereum (generally limited to developing countries).

Properties:Number of membranes : 2
Presence of a flagella : No
Number of inteins : 0
