Characterization of the genomic islands from tetracycline-resistant Chlamydia suis

Creator:

Dugan, Jae

Abstract:

Tetracycline (Tet)-resistant strains of Chlamydia suis were isolated from swine farms in the Midwest. The isolation of the resistant strains was significant because Tet is an antibiotic used to treat infections by veterinarians and doctors. One of the tetracycline (Tet)-resistant strains, R19, was able to survive in Tet up to...

Dissertation
Genomic identification of candidate inclusion membrane proteins in Chlamydial species and microscopic analysis

Creator:

Blake, Nathanael A.

Abstract:

The Chlamydiaceae are a family of obligate intracellular bacteria with a unique biphasic developmental cycle. The replicating, metabolically active, intracellular phase bacteria (RBs) grow within a cellular vacuole know as the inclusion. Since the proteins the Chlamydiaceae secrete into this membrane are the means of host/parasite interaction, they have long...
