STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are diseases that are mainly transmitted through sexual acts such as oral, anal, kissing and genital contact. One of the most commonly reported STDs in the United States is chlamydia. The number of these infections is gradually increasing around the world and costing health systems billions of dollars. Today, there is no type of testing practice or vaccine available for this infection to decrease globally. Currently, the only treatment available to help temporarily alleviate the problem is in the form of an antibiotic, which has failed to stem the increase. Due to the rapid spread of this disease, the need for vaccination to reduce the rate of spread is desperately needed. STDs are called sexually transmitted infections, venereal diseases, and reproductive tract infections. Although there are other diseases that can be contracted through sex, the term STD is still used to refer to an infection acquired through any sexual means. These infections can take many different forms such as bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic and depending on their impact, once the infection has entered the body and/or parts of the body such as the genitals or any organ sexual, it can either stay at the site where it enters or can spread. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. This STD can be described as a small parasitic bacteria, similar to a virus. Chlamydia undergo a series of developmental formations while multiplying by binary fission. This cycle involves 2 cells, one large and one small. The small cell remains together in membrane-bound vacuoles from the surface of the host cell....... middle of paper ......files for Chlamydia are Azithromycin or doxycycline. Azithromycin is known to be more effective because it is a one-time treatment. Doxycycline is a 7-day treatment, which can sometimes cause someone to forget or simply not comply. With currently available treatments and early detection of the infection, this can help shorten the duration of the infection. However, it should be noted that using antibodies so early can also interfere with the protective immune system, which can lead to reinfection. Even though a vaccine capable of completely curing Chlamydia is not available, anything currently introduced into the medical market that can partially help a patient diagnosed with Chlamydia would put health systems at ease because it would reduce the economic burden as billions of dollars are spent. spent every year and also reduce the rate of spread of this STD.
