Chlamydia pneumoniae Expresses Genes Required for DNA Replication but Not Cytokinesis during Persistent Infection of HEp-2 Cells
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Chlamydia pneumoniae causes community-acquired pneumonia and is associated with several chronic diseases, including asthma and atherosclerosis. The intracellular growth rate of C. pneumoniae slows dramatically during chronic infection, and such persistence leads to attenuated production of new elementary bodies, appearance of morphologically aberrant reticulate bodies, and altered expression of several chlamydial...
