is an obligate intracellular bacterium where most species are pathogenic and infectious, causing various infectious diseases and complications in humans and animals. Antibiotics are often recommended for the clinical treatment of chlamydial infections. However, extensive research has shown that antibiotics may not be sufficient to eliminate or inhibit infection entirely and have some potential risks, including antibiotic resistance. The impact of chlamydial infection and antibiotic misuse should not be underestimated in public health. This study explores the possibility of new therapeutic techniques, including a review of recent studies on preventing and suppressing chlamydial infection by non-antibiotic compounds.
是一种专性细胞内细菌,大多数种类具有致病性和传染性,可在人类和动物中引起各种传染病和并发症。抗生素通常被推荐用于衣原体感染的临床治疗。然而,大量研究表明,抗生素可能不足以完全消除或抑制感染,并且存在一些潜在风险,包括抗生素耐药性。衣原体感染和抗生素滥用对公共卫生的影响不容小觑。本研究探讨了新治疗技术的可能性,包括综述近期关于用非抗生素化合物预防和抑制衣原体感染的研究。
