- Abstract
This article discusses the importance of addressing Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection and its transmission through sexual routes. The authors emphasize the need for targeted and prolonged antibiotic therapy to interfere with the life cycle of Ct and reduce antibiotic resistance. They also highlight the role of reducing indiscriminate pesticide pollution, which can interfere with the food chain and biodiversity. Additionally, the authors discuss the active role of dipterans (flies) in the transmission of Ct in urban areas and the importance of raising awareness about sexually transmitted infections among health authorities. The article suggests that improving sex education and promoting intimate hygiene can help prevent the spread of Ct.
