Chlamydia trachomatis is a human pathogen associated with significant morbidity worldwide. As obligate intracellular parasites, chlamydiae must survive within eukaryotic cells for sufficient time to complete their developmental cycle.

Two intracellular and cell type-specific bacterial symbionts in the placozoan Trichoplax H2
Placozoa is an enigmatic phylum of simple, microscopic, marine metazoans(1,2). Although intracellular bacteria have been found in all members of this phylum, almost nothing is known about their identity, location and interactions with their host(3-6). We

Early MicroRNA expression profile as a prognostic biomarker for the development of pelvic inflammatory disease in a mouse model of chlamydial genital infection [PDF]
It is not currently possible to predict the probability of whether a woman with a chlamydial genital infection will develop pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

Signature sequences in diverse proteins provide evidence for the late divergence of the Order Aquificales [PDF]
The Aquificales species are presently believed to be the earliest branching lineage within Bacteria. However, the branching order of this group in different phylogenetic trees is highly variable and not resolved.

Outcome of urogenital infection with Chlamydia muridarum in CD-14 gene knockout mice [PDF]
Background CD14 has been postulated to play a role in chlamydial immunity and immunopathology. There is evidence to support this role in human infections but its function in a mouse model has not been investigated.

Gamma-Interferon-Induced Nitric-Oxide Production Reduces Chlamydia-Trachomatis Infectivity in McCoy Cells [PDF]
McCoy cells, murine-derived cells commonly used for propagation of chlamydiae, were found to be efficient producers of nitric oxide (NO) when primed with murine gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) and then exposed to the second signals provided by Escherichia ...

Protein based molecular markers provide reliable means to understand prokaryotic phylogeny and support Darwinian mode of evolution [PDF]
The analyses of genome sequences have led to the proposal that lateral gene transfers (LGTs) among prokaryotes are so widespread that they disguise the interrelationships among these organisms.
