The obligately intracellular bacteria of the genus Chlamydia, which is only remotely related
to other eubacterial genera, cause many diseases of humans, nonhuman mammals, and …

INTRODUCTION The agent of trachoma, a member of the genus Chlamydia, was described
by Halberstadter and von Prowazek (4446) about 70 years ago. This and other agents (eg …

This chapter describes the process of chlamydial development in sequence, commencing
with the attachment of elementary bodies (EB) to the host cell and culminating with the …

Chlamydia are obligate intracellular bacteria, characterized by a unique biphasic
developmental cycle. Specific interactions with the host cell are crucial for the bacteria's …

Survival and growth of L-cell-cultivated Chlamydia psittaci occurred in mouse macrophages

In this chapter our current studies on the morphology of chlamydiae have been summarized.
Its purpose is to emphasize and perhaps explain the significance of the structure to events in …

Diseases caused by Chlamydia are based on intense and chronic inflammation elicited and
maintained by reinfection or persistent infection. The traditional view in the field is that …

Ingestion of 14C-amino acid-labeled Chlamydia psittaci (6BC) by mouse fibroblasts (L cells)

Strains of Chlamydia psittaci from cattle, sheep, pigs, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, and
parrots were subdivided based on their biological characteristics. Chlamydiae grown in the …
