Expression of <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> genes encoding products required for DNA synthesis and cell division during active versus persistent infection
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
During persistent infection, the intracellular bacterial pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis is viable but severely attenuates the production of new, infectious elementary bodies (EBs). To investigate the reasons for this lack of new EB output, we analysed the expression of chlamydial genes encoding products required for DNA replication and cell division, using in vitro models of active versus persistent infection and...
