Question
A species in this genus incorporates itself into inclusion membranes through the action of Inc proteins. A pathogen in this genus alternates between elementary body and reticulate body life cycle phases. The spread of this genus in one host species is largely facilitated by immunosuppression from the retrovirus KoRV. After detection with a NAAT assay, a disease caused by this genus can be treated with a combo of azithromycin and a weeklong regimen of doxy·cycline. It’s not Neisseria (“ny-SUR-ee-uh”), but untreated infections of this genus are the most common causes of PID in women and epididymitis in men. This genus causes the eyelids to turn inwards in a symptom called trachoma (“truh-KO-muh”) and infects nearly all koalas. For 10 points, name this blindness-inducing bacterial genus that causes the most common sexually transmitted infection in the US. ■END■
