Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is pivotal for the molecular characterization of ()-the leading bacterial cause of sexually transmitted infections and infectious blindness worldwide. WGS can inform epidemiologic, public health and outbreak investigations of these human-restricted pathogens. However, challenges persist in generating high-quality genomes for downstream analyses given its obligate intracellular nature and difficulty with propagation.

Sexually transmitted proctitis, a prevalent concern among men who have sex with men (MSM) is frequently caused by a range of pathogens, including herpes simplex virus (HSV), and While HSV-associated proctitis typically presents with visible lesions, cases without external manifestations remain evasive. We report the case of an MSM in his early 30s presenting with dyschezia and perineal discomfort after unprotected anoreceptive intercourse. Despite initial inconspicuous findings, rectal swabs revealed HSV-2 infection.

The development of rapid and multiplexed point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tools is vital for the prevention and control of sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). Here, we developed a POC-comprehensive Thermococcus thioreducensArgonaute (TtrAgo)-mediated nucleic acid detection system (POC-CANDY) and palm-sized portable detection device "Owl-1" for the simultaneous detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, human papillomavirus types 16/18 and antibiotic resistance molecular markers [tetM, and gyrA mutation (S91F)]. Using recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), the optimized POC-CANDY could finish the whole detection procedure within 55 min and achieve a limit of detection of 10 copies/μL.

Purpose: Characterized as a prevalent sexually transmitted infection, Chlamydia trachomatis is intimately associated with reproductive tract complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility. However, the causal relationships between C. trachomatis infection and reproductive tract complications remain elusive.

Infertility can harm a patient in physical, psychological, spiritual, and medical ways. This illness is unusual because it affects the patient's companion and the patient individually. Infertility is a multifactorial disease, and various etiological factors like infection are known to develop this disorder.
