-== Treatment ==
-[[Image:ChlamydiaTrachomatisEinschlusskörperchen.jpg|thumb|right|''Chlamydia trachomatis'' inclusion bodies (brown) in a McCoy cell culture.]]
-''C. trachomatis'' infection can be effectively cured with [[antibiotic]]s once it is detected. Current [[Centers for Disease Control]] guidelines provide for the following treatments:
-* [[Azithromycin]] 1 gram oral as a single dose, or
-* [[Doxycycline]] 100 milligrams twice daily for seven days.
-* [[Tetracycline]]
-* [[Erythromycin]]
-Untested Treatments
-* [[Ciprofloxacin]] 500 milligrams twice daily for 3 days.  (Although this is not an approved method of treatment, as it is shown to be ineffective and may simply delay symptoms.)
-[[β-lactams]] are not suitable drugs for the treatment of chlamydia. While they have the ability to halt growth of the organism (i.e. are microbistatic), these antibiotics do not eliminate the bacteria. Once treatment is stopped, the bacteria will begin to grow once more.  (See below for Persistence.)
-== Diseases caused by ''Chlamydia trachomatis'' ==
-[[Image:SOA-conjunctivitis.jpg|thumb|Conjunctivitis due to chlamydia.]]
-''[[Chlamydia trachomatis]]'' can cause the following conditions:
-<div style="-moz-column-count:2; column-count:2;">
-* [[Cervicitis]]
-* [[Conjunctivitis]]
-* [[Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome]]
-* [[Lymphogranuloma venereum]]
-* [[Pelvic inflammatory disease]]
-* [[Pneumonia]] in infants
-* [[Reactive arthritis]]
-* [[Urethritis]]
-* Rectal infection ([[proctitis]])
-* [[Prostatitis]]
-* [[Ectopic pregnancy]]
-</div>
-==Recent genetic discoveries==
-Recent phylogenetic studies have revealed that chlamydia shares a common ancestor with modern plants, and retains unusual plant-like traits (both [[genetics|genetically]] and [[physiology|physiologically]]). In particular, the [[enzyme]] ''L,L-diaminopimelate aminotransferase'', which is related to [[lysine]] production in plants, is also linked with the construction of chlamydia's [[cell wall]]. The genetic encoding for the enzymes is remarkably similar in plants and chlamydia, demonstrating a close common ancestry.<ref name="pmid17093042">{{cite journal |author=McCoy AJ, Adams NE, Hudson AO, Gilvarg C, Leustek T, Maurelli AT |title=L,L-diaminopimelate aminotransferase, a trans-kingdom enzyme shared by Chlamydia and plants for synthesis of diaminopimelate/lysine |journal=Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. |volume=103 |issue=47 |pages=17909–14 |year=2006 |pmid=17093042 |doi=10.1073/pnas.0608643103}}</ref>
-This unexpected discovery may help scientists develop new treatment avenues: if scientists could find a safe and effective inhibitor of ''L,L-diaminopimelate aminotransferase'', they might have a highly effective and extremely specific new antibiotic against chlamydia.
