While glycogen synthase A deficiency can reduce the growth and proliferation of Chlamydia
muridarum, the effect of glycogen synthase A on the pathogenic process of C. muridarum …

Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common sexually infections that cause infertility,
and its genital infection induces tubal adhesion and hydrosalpinx. Intravaginal Chlamydia …

Plasmid-free Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia muridarum fail to induce severe
pathology. To evaluate whether the attenuated pathogenicity is due to insufficient infection …

Intravaginal infection with plasmid-competent but not plasmid-free Chlamydia muridarum
induces hydrosalpinx in mouse upper genital tract, indicating a critical role of the plasmid in …

Intravaginal infection with C. muridarum in mice often results in hydrosalpinx similar to that
found in women urogenitally infected with C. trachomatis, making the C. muridarum lower …

Hydrosalpinx induction in mice by Chlamydia muridarum infection, a model that has been
used to study C. trachomatis pathogenesis in women, is known to depend on the cryptic …

We have previously shown that the plasmid-encoded Pgp3 is a major virulence factor for C.
muridarum induction of hydrosalpinx. We now report that Pgp5 also plays a significant role …

Glycogen has been localized both inside and outside Chlamydia trachomatis organisms. We
now report that C. trachomatis glycogen synthase (GlgA) was detected in both chlamydial …

Objective This study is to investigate the functions of newly discovered genes in Chlamydia
muridarum (C. muridarum) strains with single gene differences. Methods Using whole …

Pgp3 consists of globular N-and C-terminal domains connected by a triple-helical coiled-coil
middle domain. We demonstrated previously that Pgp3 is required for induction of …
