Brief description Genital Chlamydia infections are the most common sexually transmitted infection in Australia with annual health costs of 90-160 million dollars. Ifection rates in 15-29 year olds are increasing at 15-20% per year. Antibiotics are currently the treatment of choice, however antibiotic resistance is increasing and most infections are asymptomatic and not treated in the absence of screening programs. The project aims to develop a genital Chlamydia vaccine using a combination of novel antigens.
