Abstract EN
Chlamydia trachomatis is a Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium.
It is the leading cause of bacterial sexual transmitted infections (STIs).
World Health Organization figures estimated that over 90 million new cases of genital C.
trachomatis infections occur worldwide each year.
A vaccination program is considered to be the best approach to reduce the prevalence of C.
trachomatis infections, as it would be much cheaper and have a greater impact on controlling C.
trachomatis infections worldwide rather than a screening program or treating infections with antibiotics.
Currently, there are no vaccines available which effectively protect against a C.
trachomatis genital infection despite the many efforts that have been made throughout the years.
In this paper, the many attempts to develop a protective vaccine against a genital C.
trachomatis infection will be reviewed.
