CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS SKETCHY MICRO CODE

All the isolates 'are about 7,500 nucleotides long and has eight open reading frames computer-predicted to code for proteins of more than 100 amino acids, with short non-coding sequences between some of them.' trachomatis isolates are considered to be very similar. Because there is less than 1% nucleotide sequence variation, ll plasmids from human C. trachomatis strains have an extrachromosomal plasmid, which was sequenced to be a 7493-base pair plasmid.

Д¬hlamydia trachomatis has a genome that consists of 1,042,519 nucleotide base pairs and has approximately 894 likely protein coding sequences. Thus, an effort has been made to sequence most of the C. trachomatis because it would help us better understand its functions as a pathogen-the properties that allow it to live within its human host and its virulence and biological capabilities as a pathogen. It is important to understand and sequence the genome of C. trachomatis is also one of the major causes of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility in women. It is also the leading cause of preventable blindness (caused by a chlamydia infection called trachoma) in the world. trachomatis is the leading cause of sexually transmitted disease worldwide-in the United States, alone, over 4 million cases are diagnosed each year. trachomatis require growing cells in order to remain viable since it cannot synthesize its own ATP. It has a cytoplasmic membrane and outer membrane similar to Gram-negative bacteria (thus, it being classified as Gram-negative) but, it lacks a peptidoglycan cell wall. It is a Gram-negative bacteria and has a coccoid or rod shape. trachomatis is an obligate, aerobic, intracellular parasite of eukaryotic cells.
