In vitro rescue of genital strains of Chlamydia trachomatis from interferon-γ and tryptophan depletion with indole-positive, but not indole-negative Prevotella spp. [PDF]
© 2016 The Author(s). Background: The natural course of sexually transmitted infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis varies between individuals. In addition to parasite and host effects, the vaginal microbiota might play a key role in the outcome of C.

Maternal IgG antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium are transferred to the fetus during pregnancy, like other IgG antibodies. Early‐life seroconversion to these pathogens was uncommon. Abstract Introduction Sexually transmitted infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium can have significant ...

Influence of the Anti-HIV drug Elvitegravir on Chlamydial Development and the Characterization of Chlamydial Polymorphic Membrane Protein Expression in Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)/C. trachomatis Co-infected Cells [PDF]
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common bacterial agent of sexually transmitted infections worldwide and a common co-infection in AIDS patients. Chlamydial genital tract infections are often asymptomatic; therefore many infections go untreated and ...

Stability of persistence spaces of vector-valued continuous functions [PDF]
Multidimensional persistence modules do not admit a concise representation analogous to that provided by persistence diagrams for real-valued functions. However, there is no obstruction for multidimensional persistent Betti numbers to admit one. Therefore, it is reasonable to look for a generalization of persistence diagrams concerning those properties

Hyperplane Restrictions of Indecomposable $n$-Dimensional Persistence Modules [PDF]
Understanding the structure of indecomposable $n$-dimensional persistence modules is a difficult problem, yet is foundational for studying multipersistence. To this end, Buchet and Escolar showed that any finitely presented rectangular $(n-1)$-dimensional persistence module with finite support is a hyperplane restriction of an $n$-dimensional ...

On the estimation of persistence intensity functions and linear representations of persistence diagrams [PDF]
The prevailing statistical approach to analyzing persistence diagrams is concerned with filtering out topological noise. In this paper, we adopt a different viewpoint and aim at estimating the actual distribution of a random persistence diagram, which captures both topological signal and noise. To that effect, Chazel and Divol (2019) proved that, under

This study appraises recent research to critically evaluate knowledge on the factors that influence decisions around the release of rehabilitated koalas to fire‐affected home sites. Availability of koala release sites could be compromised at times in the future by the increasing incidence of large and intense bushfires due to climate change.

Innate immune response in avian macrophages elicited by Chlamydia psittaci [PDF]
Chlamydia psittaci is a gram-negative, obligate, intracellular bacterium, which mainly infects birds and mammals. Not much is known about innate immunity initiated by C. psittaci.

Chlamydia muridarum infection of macrophages elicits bactericidal nitric oxide production via reactive oxygen species and cathepsin B [PDF]
The ability of certain species of Chlamydia to inhibit the biogenesis of phagolysosomes permits their survival and replication within macrophages. The survival of macrophage-adapted chlamydiae correlates with the multiplicity of infection (MOI), and ...

Transcriptional Landscape of Waddlia chondrophila Aberrant Bodies Induced by Iron Starvation
Chronic infections caused by obligate intracellular bacteria belonging to the Chlamydiales order are related to the formation of persistent developmental forms called aberrant bodies (ABs), which undergo DNA replication without cell division.
