STING-Dependent Recognition of Cyclic di-AMP Mediates Type I Interferon Responses during Chlamydia trachomatis Infection [PDF]
STING (stimulator of interferon [IFN] genes) initiates type I IFN responses in mammalian cells through the detection of microbial nucleic acids. The membrane-bound obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis induces a STING-dependent type I ...

Penicillin kills chlamydia following the fusion of bacteria with Lysosomes and prevents genital inflammatory lesions in C. muridarum-infected mice [PDF]
The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia exists as two distinct forms. Elementary bodies (EBs) are infectious and extra-cellular, whereas reticulate bodies (RBs) replicate within a specialized intracellular compartment termed an ‘inclusion ...

Modelling the Impact of Screening Men for Chlamydia Trachomatis on the Prevalence in Women [PDF]
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most commonly reported infectious disease in the United States and causes important reproductive morbidity in women. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended routine screening of sexually active women under age 25 but have not recommended screening among men.

Effect of Sugars on Chlamydia trachomatis Infectivity [PDF]
Background. Previous works suggest that sugars can have a beneficial effect on C. trachomatis (CT) survival and virulence. In this study, we investigated the effect of different sugars on CT infectivity, elucidating some of the molecular mechanisms behind CT-sugar interaction. Methods.
