Chlamydia trachomatis, a sexually transmitted disease passed on during birth, is also important (2. Recently, multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels that include other respiratory bacteria have been implemented in clinical practice. Several studies have indicated that the atypical pathogens ...
Thus, it is not known whether distinct host organs differently shape the genome of the same pathogen. We tested this hypothesis using Chlamydia trachomatis as model species, looking at 15 serovars that infect different organs: eyes, genitalia and lymph nodes. Results: We analyzed over 51,000 ...

The present invention relates to primers and probes that can be used in various assays to detect a new strain of Chlamydia trachomatis. The invention further provides for the
The present invention relates to antigenic proteins from Chlamydia trachomatis. A method for inducing an immune response with an immunogenic Chlamydia protein is provi
In most bacteria, the TCA cycle is important for the generation of reductive potential, energy generation, and the synthesis of metabolic precursors. The TCA cycle in C. trachomatis is incomplete given the lack of citrate synthase (gltA), aconitase (acn), and isocitrate dehydrogenase (icd) (Mc...
This is followed by cell lysis or budding of the inclusion vesicles releasing novel infectious bacteria unable to replicate autonomously. In 1998, in the first genome description of a chlamydial intracellular pathogen infecting human cells (Chlamydia trachomatis), the authors surprisingly reported that a...
