Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis is a known cause of sexually transmitted diseases, eye infections (including trachoma), and reactive arthritis (ReA). Because the mechanisms of Chlamydia-induced changes leading to ReA are poorly defined, this study sought to identify the target genes involved at the molecular level. METHODS: Chlamydia-induced changes in host cells were investigated by combining a...
