The CrP operon of Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia pneumoniae [PDF]

Microbiology, 1995
One of the critical developmental events during the unique intracellular life cycle of Chlamydiae is their differentiation from a metabolically active, replicative form or reticulate body (RB) to an infectious extracellular form of the organism (elementary body or EB). This process is characterized by the expression of two extraordinarily cysteine-rich
