Molecular characterization of Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia psittaci plasmids [PDF]
Plasmids from Chlamydia trachomatis LGV-434 (serotype L2) and Chlamydia psittaci meningopneumonitis strain Cal-10 were cloned into the BamHI and EcoRI sites of pBR322, respectively. The recombinant plasmids pCTL2 and pCPMn, each containing an entire respective chlamydial plasmid, were transformed into Escherichia coli.

Analysis of Polymorphic Membrane Protein Expression in Cultured Cells Identifies PmpA and PmpH of Chlamydia psittaci as Candidate Factors in Pathogenesis and Immunity to Infection. [PDF]
The polymorphic membrane protein (Pmp) paralogous families of Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia abortus are putative targets for Chlamydia vaccine development. To determine whether this is also the case for Pmp family members of C.

Purine metabolism by intracellular Chlamydia psittaci [PDF]
Purine metabolism was studied in the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia psittaci AA Mp in the wild type and a variety of mutant host cell lines with well-defined deficiencies in purine metabolism. C. psittaci AA Mp cannot synthesize purines de novo, as assessed by its inability to incorporate exogenous glycine into nucleic acid purines.

Processing of chlamydia abortus polymorphic membrane protein 18D during the chlamydial developmental cycle [PDF]
<p>Background: Chlamydia possess a unique family of autotransporter proteins known as the Polymorphic membrane proteins (Pmps). While the total number of pmp genes varies between Chlamydia species, all encode a single pmpD gene.

On the biology and epidemiology of the feral pigeon (Columba livia) [PDF]
Feral pigeons (Columba livia, Gmelin 1789) are among the most abundant vertebrates in the urban environment of almost every city in the world. Close contacts to humans bear the risk of transmission of zoonotic pathogens and parasites.

Chlamydia psittaci infection in canaries heavily infested by Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]
Dermanyssus gallinae is a haematophagous ectoparasite responsible for anemia, weight loss, dermatitis and a decrease in egg production. Dermanyssus gallinae may play a role in the modulation of the host immune system, maybe predisposing the host to some ...

Hepatitis in a Family Infected by Chlamydia Psittaci [PDF]
Hepatic involvement is considered a rare complication of psittacosis. Occurrence of icteric hepatitis as the cardinal manifestation of the disease has been rarely reported. We describe two members of a family infected by psittacosis, in whom icteric hepatitis was the prominent expression of the disease.

Pyrimidine metabolism by intracellular Chlamydia psittaci [PDF]
Pyrimidine metabolism was studied in the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia psittaci AA Mp in the wild type and a variety of mutant host cell lines with well-defined mutations affecting pyrimidine metabolism. C. psittaci AA Mp cannot synthesize pyrimidines de novo, as assessed by its inability to incorporate aspartic acid into nucleic acid ...
