Chlamydia pneumoniae hides inside apoptotic neutrophils to silently infect and propagate in macrophages. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND: Intracellular pathogens have developed elaborate strategies for silent infection of preferred host cells. Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common pathogen in acute infections of the respiratory tract (e.g. pneumonia) and associated with chronic lung

Identification of a strong and specific antichlamydial N-acylhydrazone. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis is an extremely common infection and often leads to serious complications including infertility and pelvic inflammatory syndrome. Several broad-spectrum antibiotics are currently used to treat C.

Divergent plant and microbial community change in response to coastal salinization and sea level rise

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Diverging community responses of plants and microbes to global change have the potential to disrupt ecosystem function and resiliency. Saltwater intrusion and sea level rise (SWISLR) threaten coastal ecosystems and are associated with multiple stressors—salinization, alkalinization, and inundation.

Productive and Penicillin-Stressed Chlamydia pecorum Infection Induces Nuclear Factor Kappa B Activation and Interleukin-6 Secretion In Vitro

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) is an inflammatory transcription factor that plays an important role in the host immune response to infection. The potential for chlamydiae to activate NFκB has been an area of interest, however most work has focused on ...

Full‐Length 16S and 18S rRNA Long‐Read Sequencing Reveals Gut Microbiome Diversity in the European Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus)

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Full‐length 16S and 18S rRNA Oxford Nanopore sequencing of large intestine contents from 30 healthy European brown hares revealed broad gut microbiome diversity. An 80% identity threshold detected substantially greater taxonomic richness than 95%, emphasizing the value of long‐read sequencing in wildlife microbiome research. ABSTRACT The European brown

The Type III Secretion Effector CteG Mediates Host Cell Lytic Exit of Chlamydia trachomatis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium causing ocular and urogenital infections in humans that are a significant burden worldwide. The completion of its characteristic infectious cycle relies on the manipulation of several host cell

Assessment of Preservation and Extraction Methods for Environmental DNA in Sediments

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
We assessed how different preservation methods (freezing, room temperature, silica gel, Longmire buffer) affect eDNA metabarcoding results for bacterial, fungal, microeukaryotic, and metazoan communities in marine and freshwater sediments. Results demonstrate taxonomic‐ and habitat‐specific responses to preservation methods, providing evidence‐based ...

Primary endosymbiosis: have cyanobacteria and Chlamydiae ever been roommates?

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Eukaryotes acquired the ability to process photosynthesis by engulfing a cyanobacterium and transforming it into a genuine organelle called the plastid. This event, named primary endosymbiosis, occurred once more than a billion years ago, and allowed the
