Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) co-infection induced chlamydial persistence/stress does not require productive viral replication [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
Chlamydiae may exist at the site of infection in an alternative replicative form, called the aberrant body (AB). AB are produced during a viable but non-infectious developmental state termed persistence or chlamydial stress.

The IL-6 Response to Chlamydia From Primary Reproductive Epithelial Cells Is Highly Variable and May Be Involved in Differential Susceptibility to the Immunopathological Consequences of Chlamydial Infection [PDF]

BMC Immunology, 2013
Background: Chlamydia trachomatis infection results in reproductive damage in some women. The process and factors involved in this immunopathology are not well understood.

Modulation of the Chlamydia trachomatis In vitro transcriptome response by the sex hormones estradiol and progesterone [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2011
Background Chlamydia trachomatis is a major cause of sexually transmitted disease in humans. Previous studies in both humans and animal models of chlamydial genital tract infection have suggested that the hormonal status of the genital tract epithelium ...

Conjunctival FOXP3 expression in trachoma: do regulatory T cells have a role in human ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infection? [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Trachoma, caused by ocular infection with Chlamydia trachomatis, remains the leading infectious cause of blindness and in 2002 was responsible for 3.6% of total global blindness.

A mathematical model of chlamydial infection incorporating movement of chlamydial particles [PDF]

, 2013
We present a spatiotemporal mathematical model of chlamydial infection, host immune response and spatial movement of infectious particles. The re- sulting partial differential equations model both the dynamics of the infection and changes in infection ...

Commonly prescribed β-lactam antibiotics induce C. trachomatis persistence/stress in culture at physiologically relevant concentrations.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
Chlamydia trachomatis, the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease agent worldwide, enters a viable, non-dividing and non-infectious state (historically termed persistence and more recently referred to as the chlamydial stress response) when ...

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

Frontiers 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 ...
