Tossup

A species in this genus incorporates itself into inclusion membranes through the action of Inc proteins. A pathogen in this genus alternates between elementary body and reticulate body life cycle (10[1])phases. (-5[1])The spread of this genus (10[1])in one host species is largely facilitated by immunosuppression from the retrovirus KoRV. After detection with a NAAT assay, a disease caused by this genus can be treated with a combo of azithromycin (-5[1])and a weeklong (-5[1])regimen of doxy·cycline. It’s not Neisseria (“ny-SUR-ee-uh”), but untreated infections of this genus (-5[1])are the most common causes of PID in women (-5[1])and epididymitis (-5[3])in men. (-5[2])This genus causes the eyelids to turn inwards in a symptom (10[1])called trachoma (“truh-KO-muh”) and infects nearly all koalas. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 (10[1])points, (10[2])name this (10[1])blindness-inducing (10[2]-5[1])bacterial genus that causes the most common (10[1])sexually transmitted infection (10[1])in the US.
