The role of chlamydial inclusion membrane proteins in host-pathogen interaction and the development of novel methods for studying chlamydial biology

Creator:

Alzhanov, Damir T.

Abstract:

The majority of our modern understanding of bacterial pathogenesis is based on the strategy that involves screening bacterial genomes for the presence of the genes encoding pathogenic factors, and analysis of these genes via forward and reverse genetics. Chlamydiae represent a unique group of pathogenic bacteria in which it is...

Chlamydiae under stress : environmental conditions influence the production and localization of chlamydial antigens

Creator:

Brown, Wendy J.

Abstract:

Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular pathogens that cause several serious conditions within the human host. Many of the symptoms associated with infection are thought to stem from the development of aberrant, or persistent, chlamydiae. Factors leading to chlamydial persistence include deprivation of amino acids, the release of certain cellular factors, or...
