Abstract

Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacterial infection that most frequently causes sexually transmitted infection in the world, therefore, it is considered a serious public health problem. The objective of this commentary is to describe in a condensed but sufficient manner what has been reported by researchers on the subject based on the documentary review available in digital repositories on aspects of the infection. The information obtained was grouped into 7 categories as a result of the analysis of relevant ideas. There are many aspects to be revealed in terms of pathogenesis, biology of the microbial agent, and treatment, hence the need to generate new knowledge in this regard and to carry out thematic consolidations such as the one presented here.

Keywords
