The importance of the part played by Chlamydia trachomatis in male genital infections has only become apparent in recent years. In man, this bacteria is the main agent responsible for non-gonococcal urethritis and for at least 30% of the cases of acute epididymitis in adults. Although bacteriologically difficult, its identification is of great practical use, because of the hypersensitiveness of Chlamydia to tetracyclines.
