Chlamydia are obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria distinguished by a unique
developmental biology confined within a parasitophorous vacuole termed an inclusion. The …

Chlamydia trachomatis and C. muridarum are human and mouse pathogens, respectively,
which show high conservation of gene order and content. Both species contain a common …

Chlamydia trachomatis causes chronic inflammatory diseases of the eye and genital tract
and has global medical importance. The chlamydial plasmid plays an important role in the …

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that is a globally important
human pathogen. The chlamydial plasmid is an attenuating virulence factor, but the …

Chlamydia are gram-negative obligate intracellular bacteria that replicate within a discrete
cellular vacuole, called an inclusion. Although it is known that Chlamydia require essential …

Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are utilized by Gram-negative pathogens to enhance
their pathogenesis. This secretion system is associated with the delivery of effectors through …

The chlamydial cryptic plasmid encodes eight putative open reading frames (ORFs),
designated pORF1 to-8. Antibodies raised against these ORF proteins were used to localize …

Chlamydia, an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen, has a unique developmental cycle
involving the differentiation of invading elementary bodies (EBs) to noninfectious reticulate …

Most Chlamydia species carry a 7.5 kb plasmid encoding eight open reading frames
conventionally called plasmid glycoproteins 1–8 or pGP1–8. Although the plasmid is not …
