ABSTRACT A critical step in intracellular Chlamydia infection is the production of infectious
progeny through the expression of late genes. This differentiation step involves conversion …

The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia has an unusual developmental cycle in
which there is conversion between two forms that are specialized for either intracellular …

The pathogenic bacterium C hlamydia replicates in a eukaryotic host cell via a
developmental cycle marked by temporal waves of gene expression. We have previously …

The pathogenic bacterium Chlamydia reproduces via an unusual intracellular
developmental cycle in which it converts from a dividing form (reticulate body or RB) to an …

Bacteria in the genus Chlamydia are a significant health burden worldwide. They infect a
wide range of vertebrate animals, including humans and domesticated animals. In humans …

Chlamydia is a genus of pathogenic bacteria with an unusual intracellular developmental
cycle marked by temporal waves of gene expression. The three main temporal groups of …

This chapter reviews the mechanisms of temporal gene regulation utilized during the three
main stages of the developmental cycle, as well as how transcription is silenced in …

The EUO gene of chlamydia is highly expressed early in the developmental cycle, relative to
other genes, but continues to be expressed throughout the active growth phases. The …

Transformation of Chlamydia trachomatis should greatly advance the chlamydial research.
However, significant progress has been hindered by the failure of C. trachomatis to induce …

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium whose unique developmental
cycle consists of an infectious elementary body and a replicative reticulate body …
