| Chlamydia | gram-neg, obligate intracellular pathogen--unable to make ATP, vegitative intracellular, infectious extracellular, most infectious bacterium in world, grows in phagocytes, 70% females-30%males asymptomatic-chlamydia trachomatis |
| Energy parasites | unable to make ATP--must transport from host cells |
| General paresis | dementia due to syphilis--occurs approx. 20 yrs after infection--emotion instability, memory loss, impaired judgment, delusions, hallucinations, loss of vision, eye damage, speech defects |
| gonococcus | GC--gonnohea |
| Gonorrhea | gram-neg--bean-shaped dilocci-ialso called gonococcus(GC)--males-urethritis, dysuria, pus-like exudate--women-cervicitis, pharyngitis, proctitis, conjunctivitis-babies, PID--Neisseria gonorrhoeae |

| Nongonococcal urethritis | NGU--most commonly caused by C. trachomatis |
| PID | pelvic inflammatory disease--may lead to infertility due to scar tissue on fallopian tubes |
| Pilin | protein that comprises pili--pilin-neg strains of gonococcus are nonpathogenic--can't attach well and are washed away by urinary stream-- |
| Reservoir | humans only source--gonorrhea |
| Salpingitis | chlamydia--bacteria can ascent asymptomatically to follopian fubes cause scaring-leads to closure and sterility |
