The use of an integrated approach to the study of Chlamydia trachomatis infection of the female genital tract, presented at the mini-symposium "Chlamydia trachomatis infections" and described in the thesis of Joseph M. Lyons, has resulted in the creation of the ICTI consortium. The ICTI consortium is based on strong interaction and collaboration between basic scientists, clinicians, epidemiologists, and health care policy makers. This translational approach will help to further the valuable insight into the immunopathogenesis of this sexually transmitted infection (STI) and the development of new intervention strategies, including the vaccines and screening programs necessary to effectively diagnose, treat and prevent C. trachomatis infection. A background of the need for this integrated approach is presented and the goals and participants of the consortium are described. |
