Do host genetic traits in the bacterial sensing system play a role in the development of <it>Chlamydia trachomatis</it>-associated tubal pathology in subfertile women?
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In women, <it>Chlamydia (C.) trachomatis</it> upper genital tract infection can cause distal tubal damage and occlusion, increasing the risk of tubal factor subfertility and ectopic pregnancy. Variations, like single nucl...
