Chlamydias are obligate intracellular pathogens. Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) is a human pathogen that infects the respiratory tract and is responsible for some cases of communityacquired pneumonia. Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) is a human pathogen known to cause some genital tract and ocular infections. Chlamydias can have far-reaching manifestations. Long-term harboring of Chlamydias has been implicated in neuroautoimmunities such as multiple sclerosis and autism spectrum disorders.
