The Chlamydia Life Cycle – How Does It Spreads?
Chlamydia’s spreading capability relies not upon its own force but its need to invade host nutrients. In shorten words, they will start as a small evil body but it will seek and destroy others. This is their Life Cycle. You can find it on below image as well.
- Theelementary body will try to enter the first cell he finds on the way. The cell automatically detects the elementary body and will try to “eat” it to prevent its existence. That hostile response from our cells belongs to the unusual existence of the EB.
2) Once the evil body is inside the cell, it will start fighting with every possible way thanks to its mechanism, repealing away the Lysosome and even hiding with a shield-like layer.
3) Now the EB is more powerful than ever. In a matter of hours, the main elementary body will start replicating to form many reticulate bodies or RB. The previous mentioned covered area will now be a lot bigger thanks to all the nutrients and proteins acquired by the new bodies.
4) At the same time the Vescicle grows – the area that covered the EB at the beginning – the reticular bodies reproduce and keeps dividing for a while: Binary Fission. Now, the core of the invaded cell is smaller than ever.
5) Everything is now doomed; EB’s and RB’s conforms now a vicious army. The cell is now dead and the army is preparing the next invasion: Exocytosis or Lysis.
6) They take the best opportunity and break the cell into many pieces. A rupture is formed and now both types of bodies try infesting adjacent cells to prevail on the system, repeating all the cycle. In some cases, EB’s stay on the moribund cell to keep its machinery.
