Abstract
Historic evidence of infections caused by Chlamydia exists as long as 4000 years ago, and since the first description of the characteristic features of a chlamydial inclusion by Halbersteadter & von Provazek (1907), Chlamydia has been studied extensively. While the genome sequence of several Chlamydia species has provided extensive new knowledge concerning the coding capacity of Chlamydia , effective therapeutic or immunologic means of control or prevention against diseases caused by chlamydial infections are still not available. Hence, millions of samples are tested for the presence of Chlamydia world wide every year, and subjects found positive are treated with antibiotics. However, progress has been made in understanding the pathogenesis and molecular biology of Chlamydia . This was abundantly illustrated at The Sixth Meeting of the European Society for Chlamydia Research held at …
