Abstract

Bacterial infections that can be transmitted by sexual contact are usually caused by the following organisms: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Treponema pallidum and Klebsiella granulomatis. These pathogens can be detected with the aid of specific nutrient media, stained microscopic sections and serological and molecular biological methods.
