Penicillin kills chlamydia following the fusion of bacteria with Lysosomes and prevents genital inflammatory lesions in C. muridarum-infected mice [PDF]
, 2013 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 ...

The persistence of chlamydial inclusions in clinically quiescent trachoma.
West African journal of medicine, 1992 Most of the trachoma patients seen at the Guinness Eye Clinic in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria today are in the healed or quiescent stages of evolution and disease intensity is largely trivial. A significant proportion however, seem to have recrudescence of the active stages, a phenomenon that is usually attributed to reinfection.

Host Cell Amplification of Nutritional Stress Contributes To Persistence in Chlamydia trachomatis
mBio, 2022 Persistence, a viable but non-replicating growth state, has been implicated in diseases caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. Starvation of distinct nutrients produces a superficially similar persistent state, implying convergence on a common intracellular ...

Laboratory diagnosis of persistent human chlamydial infection [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 Diagnostic assays for persistent chlamydial infection are much needed to conduct high-quality, large-scale studies investigating the persistent state in vivo, its disease associations and the response to therapy. Yet in most studies the distinction between acute and persistent infection is based on the interpretation of the data obtained by the assays ...

Chlamydial infection of the gastrointestinal tract: a reservoir for persistent infection [PDF]
Pathogens and Disease, 2013 The mechanism by which chlamydiae persist in vivo remains undefined; however, chlamydiae in most animals persist in the gastrointestinal tract (GI) and are transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Oral infection of mice with Chlamydia muridarum was previously shown to establish a long-term persistent infection in the GI tract. In this study, BALB/c, DBA/2,

Analysis of polymorphic membrane protein expression in cultured cells Identifies PmpA and PmpH of Chlamydia psittaci as candidate factors in pathogenesis and immunity to infection [PDF]
, 2016 The polymorphic membrane protein (Pmp) paralogous families of Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia abortus are putative targets for Chlamydia vaccine development. To determine whether this is also the case for Pmp family members of C.

Chlamydial infection from outside to inside [PDF]
, 2019 Chlamydia are obligate intracellular bacteria, characterized by a unique biphasic developmental cycle. Specific interactions with the host cell are crucial for the bacteria's survival and amplification because of the reduced chlamydial genome.
