Chlamydia is a bacterial infection; it generally affects the genitourinary system in males, and the genital system in females. It can also affect the conjunctiva of the eye in both sexes. It can cause sterility or blindness. However, it's curable with certain kinds of antibiotics such as azithromycin (beta-lactams such as penicillin inhibit the growth of the bacteria without actually killing them, so penicillin is not an effective cure).
