Chlamydiae have been known for more than a century as major pathogens of humans. Yet
they are also found ubiquitously in the environment where they thrive within protists and in …

It is estimated that approximately one billion people are at risk of infection with obligate
intracellular bacteria, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms that govern their …

Chlamydiae are highly successful strictly intracellular bacteria associated with diverse
eukaryotic hosts. Here we analyzed metagenome-assembled genomes of the “Genomes …

Pathogenic bacteria are armed with potent effector proteins that subvert host signalling
processes during infection. The activities of bacterial effectors and their associated roles …

As obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens, members of the Chlamydia genera are the
pivotal triggers for a wide range of infections, which can lead to blinding trachoma, pelvic …

Clp proteases play a central role in bacterial physiology and, for some bacterial species, are
even essential for survival. Also due to their conservation among bacteria including …

Chlamydia trachomatis, one species of Chlamydia spp., has the greatest impact on human
health and is the main cause of bacterial sexually transmitted diseases and preventable …

Protective immune responses to Chlamydia infection within the female reproductive tract
(FRT) are incompletely understood. MHC class II-restricted CD4 Th1 responses are believed …

Chamydia species are bacterial pathogens that can infect a wide range of animal hosts
including humans. In birds, Chlamydia psittaci is a leading cause of chlamydial infections …

The phylum Chlamydiae constitutes a group of obligate intracellular bacteria that infect a
