Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted bacterial infection that can be diagnosed through a urine test or genital swab.

iollo markers that associate with Chlamydia*

Kynurenine

Kynurenine is a metabolite produced from tryptophan catabolism. Chlamydia infection upregulates IDO activity, increasing the conversion of tryptophan to kynurenine.

Tryptophan

Chlamydia infection can lead to increased tryptophan catabolism via indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) enzyme activity, resulting in lower tryptophan levels.
