Chlamydia psittaci (C. psittaci) is an obligate intracellular bacterium that replicates in
neutrophils, a significant producer of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the effect of …

Background Whether polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) exert a protective role upon
chlamydial infection by expressing inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) and …

The ability of certain species of Chlamydia to inhibit the biogenesis of phagolysosomes
permits their survival and replication within macrophages. The survival of macrophage …

Chlamydia pneumoniae, a respiratory pathogen implicated in the development and
progress of atherosclerosis, is known to infect and survive in macrophages, despite …

This study tested the hypothesis that Chlamydia psittaci (C. psittaci) survives and multiplies
in human neutrophils by activating P2X7, a nonselective cationic channel receptor …

The obligatory intracellular bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) can survive
and multiply in neutrophil granulocytes. Since neutrophils are short living cells, inhibition of …

Background Intracellular pathogens have developed elaborate strategies for silent infection
of preferred host cells. Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common pathogen in acute infections of …

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 …

Inclusion membrane proteins (Incs) play an important role in the structure and stability of
chlamydial inclusion and the interaction between Chlamydia spp. and their hosts. Following …

Chlamydophila psittaci (C. psittaci) is a human zoonotic pathogen, which could result in
severe respiratory disease. In the present study, we investigated the role and mechanism of …
