The bacteria that chlamydia transmission, the world's most common sexually transmitted disease, seems to be sneakier than once thought, as a new study suggests it frequently exchanges DNA between different strains to form entirely new strains.
Chlaymydia is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis, and though its symptoms are often mild, the sexually transmitted disease can cause infertility in women and a discharge from the penis of an infected man. Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD in the world, including in the U.S. where more than 1.3 million cases were reported in 2010. About 100 million cases of Chlamydia are reported each year across the globe.
Scientists know there are two groups of Chlamydia strains, one that seems to infect the eyes and urinary-genital areas, and another set known to spread through the lymphatic system, which is important to the body's immune system. Currently, an epidemic of the lymphatic types is progressing in Europe and North America, particularly in men who have sex with men, the researchers note online today (March 11) in the journal Nature Genetics.
However, little is known about how these different strains evolve and emerge.
"Scientists recently discovered that if two Chlamydia strains co-infect the same person at the same time, they can swap DNA by a process called recombination," lead researcher Dr. Simon Harris, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, said in a statement.
To find out how widespread this swapping is, Harris and colleagues compared the genome sequences of 53 strains of C. trachomatis, which were isolated from epidemics that occurred between 1959 and 2009; the strains were meant to represent the diversity of Chlamydia seen in clinical settings. Results showed that even when the Chlamydia strains had infected different parts of the body, they could still swap DNA with each other, leading to new strains. [Quiz: Test Your STD Smarts]
Recombination "was originally thought only to affect a few 'hotspots' within the genome," Harris said. "We were very surprised to find recombination is far more widespread than previously thought."
The results have implications for how the STD is diagnosed. Currently, doctors use a test that returns a positive or negative for Chlamydia infections, without any information on the particular strain. That means doctors can't tell, say, if a person who tests positive again after being treated with antibiotics has picked up a second strain of Chlamydia or if their treatment has failed.
While antibiotic-resistant Chlamydia has not been seen in patients, it does occur in the lab. If it did occur in the general population, current tests would not detect it.
"Until now a person treated with antibiotics with a reoccurring infection of C. trachomatis was assumed to have been re-infected," study researcher Dr. Nicholas Thomson, also of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, said in a statement. "The current gaps in our understanding of the population makeup of Chlamydia limit our ability to implement health policies, because we do not fully understand how Chlamydia spreads within our population."
The scientists are now working with hospitals to bring technologies for whole-genome sequencing into clinical settings.

chemicals for sale on Echemi: Your diet program phenomenon that will going inside nineteen-eighties ended up being your passing away connected with a lot of People in america something like 20 decades soon after, as well as the gamut connected with toxins continue to infects diet program food items nowadays. Aspartame, sucralose along with sorbitol are generally some fatal man-made sweeteners that will mutate our debris along with result in these people in order to increase uncontrollably, at some point targeting your bosoms, pancreas and also your prostate along with malignancy that will chemotherapy can't ever exhausted. Recall, chemotherapy will be chemical-based furthermore, and so which is just simply additional energy to the malefic "robots. "
White wine food items are generally bleached white wine, along with result in malignancy. Be mindful connected with white wine bakery, white wine flour, white wine grain (except intended for basmati), white wine sugars, white wine pasta, white wine caffeine filters, as well as the listing keeps growing.
Genetically improved food items, including the majority of soy, corn along with canola, incorporate cancer-causing insecticides along with weed-killer (Roundup's glyphosate) that will overwhelm the washing internal organs. Hydrogenated oils are generally addressed along with alternative substances. Sufficient reported.
Sipping substances: The majority of engage waters features salt fluoride (not your natural and organic fluoride they want to gain you trust was in there). Salt fluoride is really a noxious by-product from the substance alternative elaborate connected with China and taiwan, and is particularly exported on the US in order to energy your malignancy marketplace. That isn't the theory and also conspiracy theory idea. You can find practically many hundreds video clips, specialized content, methodical exploration scientific tests along with documentaries during this theme. Have a excellent waters filtration system to your residence not ingest waters on the engage once again.
Injecting substances: The majority of People in america are generally weird in relation to contagious disorders for grounds: Your bulk mass media possesses fearful your heck outside persons in order that Massive Pharma can certainly sell off a lot of noxious vaccines along with flu pictures. The majority of "immunizations" along with "inoculations" incorporate a large number of and also all the using: mercury (listed because thimerosal), formaldehyde (embalming substance intended for expended people), metal along with MSG. Don't think that? Test the reality because announced upon TruthWiki, and also because detailed within the CDC internet site!
Inhaling substances: Via losing noxious candle in your residence, in order to inhaling your apply on the mosquito 18 wheeler, along with via second-hand smoking in order to noxious atmosphere fresheners such as Lysol along with Febreze, People in america inhale "cancer" regular, along with do not sometimes comprehend that.
Positioning substances on the skin color: Is it possible to express parabens along with phthalates? Why don't you consider salt lauryl sulfate along with petroleum derivatives? Possibly there is steer inside your lipstick and also metal inside your antiperspirant? Possibly there is talc inside your natural powder and also harsh detergents inside your clothing cleaning soap? Your epidermis 's your most significant appendage, and yes it not simply absorbs poisons, yet must take in along with sweating people poisons out and about. Do not stack substances on the skin color chemical price analysis from Echemi.
