<unk>  is an inflammation of the genital tract that is mostly due to infectious causes. Its pathogenesis depends on the causative pathogen. N. gonorrhea is usually transmitted via the genital tract to the human host. Following attachment to host cell, which is mediated by pili, gonococci become engulfed in a process known as parasite-directed endocytosis. This organism will survive inside the vacuoles and replicate. Among non-gonorrheal causes, Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common. The infectious process begins with cell surface attachment and phagocytosis by the host cell. The pathogen survives inside the cell by debilitating the cellular lysosomes and replicating as elementary bodies which is considered as the infective form of the pathogen.
