Older medical knowledge associated these organisms with trachoma, inclusion conjunctivitis, lymphogranuloma venereum, and psittacosis. Current medicine is concerned with their role in sexually transmitted disease, infertility in females, pneumonitis of the newborn, and possibly pneumonia in the absence of an avian reservoir. In this book we attempt to state the microbiology of Chlamydia as we understand it with regard to their nature as micro- organisms and as pathogens. The editor is grateful to the contributors for their cooperation, patience, and commitment to excellence. Almen L. Barron THE EDITOR Almen L. Barron Ph.D. is Professor and Chairman, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock. A Canadian by birth, he received his Ph.D. at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario in 1953. He joined the Department of Bacteriology, University of Buffalo (later State University of New York at Buffalo) in 1954 to work on the Salk vaccine field trial under the direction of Dr. David T. Karzon. He remained at Buffalo until 1974 when he assumed his present position. Research at Buffalo was mainly focused on Echoviruses and viral immunology. In 1964 he received a Fulbright Research Scholar award and worked in the laboratory of the late Professor Hans Bernkopf, Hebrew University — Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel. It was there that his interest in Chlamydia was kindled. Early research was on chlamydial hemagglutinin and biological properties. Later studies involved the role of Chlamydia in genital tract infections using animal models, which have continued to the present. Other activities have included co-editing Microbiology: Basic Principles and Clinical Applications (Macmillan) with Dr. Noel R. Rose, membership on Bacteriology and Mycology Study Section, NIH, and service on the editorial boards for Infection and Immunity and Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine.
