Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. This infection can lead to painful health problems if left untreated.

A mini model of the human intestines suggests that chlamydia bacteria can colonize the gut, potentially contributing to recurrent infections.
