Chlamydia trachomatis IgM Reagent – Jaj International

An enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative and semiquantitative determination of IgG-class antibodies to Chlamydia trachomatis in serum and plasma.

Chlamydiae are non-motile, Gram negative and obligatory intracellular growing bacteria which form characteristic inclusions within the cytoplasm of parasitized cells. They are easily visible in the light microscope. Three different Chlamydia species are known to be pathogenic for humans: Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia psittaci, and only one species is pathogenic for animals (C.pecorum).

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most prevalent agent of sexually transmitted diseases worldwide (400-500 million cases) and the number of infections is constantly growing. Pregnant women infected with C. trachomatis may transmit these bacteria during childbirth, causing conjunctivitis or pneumonia in newborns.

Untreated cases of chlamydial infection can lead to chronic salpingitis, possibly resulting in ectopic pregnancy or infertility. In males, C. trachomatis is a major cause of non-gonococcal urethritis. A severe problem in Chlamydia infections is the frequent asymptomatic insidious course which may result in the initiation of chronic diseases. In many instances primary infections are not recognized and only the sequelae caused by ascended, persisting agents are diagnosed.
