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

Kinematics of intracellular chlamydiae provide evidence for contact-dependent development [PDF]
, 2009 A crucial process of chlamydial development involves differentiation of the replicative reticulate body (RB) into the infectious elementary body (EB). We present experimental evidence to provide support for a contact-dependent hypothesis for explaining ...

The Curious Case of CysE: Diversity and Distribution of Serine Acetyltransferases in Bacteria
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 1092-1103, May 2026.ABSTRACT Serine acetyltransferase (CysE) is a member of the left‐handed β‐helix family of acetyltransferases that catalyze the rate limiting step in de novo cysteine biosynthesis. There are two isoforms of CysE that differ in length, with the shorter isoform lacking approximately 76 amino acids at the N‐terminus of the protein from the serine ...

Chlamydia avium‐associated hepatitis in a fancy pigeon (Columba livia f. domestica)
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract A 5‐year‐old, male, fancy pigeon (Columba livia f. domestica, 380 g), found dead without prior clinical signs, was submitted for diagnostic postmortem examination. Histologically, the animal exhibited heterophilic to mononuclear hepatitis consistent with avian chlamydiosis; however, Chlamydia psittaci‐specific real‐time polymerase chain ...

New South Wales Public Health Bulletin, 2002 Chlamydia is a sexually transmissible infection that can affect both men and women. It is caused by bacterium. Many people who are infected with the bacterium do not have symptoms of infection but can still transmit the bacterium. Chlamydia can affect the urethra (the urine passage), cervix (the neck of the womb), rectum and anus, throat, and eyes ...
