Effective growth and replication of obligate intracellular pathogens depend on host cell
metabolism. How this is connected to host cell mitochondrial function has not been studied …

Mitochondria are intracellular organelles that are instrumental in the creation of energy,
metabolism, apoptosis, and intrinsic immunity. Mitochondria exhibit an extraordinarily high …

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that scavenges host metabolic
products for its replication. Mitochondria are the power plants of eukaryotic cells and provide …

Chlamydia pneumoniae infections of the respiratory tract are common and are associated
with acute and chronic diseases such as community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and …

Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is an intracellular energy-parasitic bacterium that requires ATP
derived from infected cells for its growth. Meanwhile, depending on the O2 concentration …

Chlamydia infection represents an important cause for concern for public health worldwide.
Chlamydial infection of the genital tract in females is mostly asymptomatic at the early stage …

Obligate intracellular bacteria such as Chlamydia trachomatis depend on metabolites of the
host cell and thus protect their sole replication niche by interfering with the host cells' stress …

Infection with the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is the most
common bacterial sexually transmitted disease worldwide. Since no vaccine is available to …

Mitochondria are critical cellular organelles that perform a wide variety of functions,
including energy production and immune regulation. To perform these functions …

Chlamydia pneumoniae is a ubiquitous intracellular bacterium which infects humans via the
respiratory route. The tendency of C. pneumoniae to persist in monocytes and macrophages …
