The study of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection in
the male genital tract has been the focus of attention of
many researchers during last 2 decades. However, it still
is a controversial issue to be clarified. Many aspects of
this topic remain inconclusive. Is CT a definitive
uropathogen affecting the upper genitourinary tract?
Does this infection affect semen quality and/or male
fertility? Is there a valid animal model to study male
urogenital infection by CT? Which strain of CT is
adequate to use in an animal model to mirror what
happens in a human male urogenital infection
