Transcriptional Response Patterns of<i>Chlamydophila psittaci</i>in Different In Vitro Models of Persistent Infection
22 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
The obligatory intracellular bacterium Chlamydophila psittaci is the causative agent of psittacosis in birds and humans. The capability of this zoonotic pathogen to develop a persistent phase is likely to play a role in chronicity of infections, as well as in failure of antibiotic therapy and immunoprophylaxis. To elucidate three different in vitro models for transition of C. psittaci to persistence (iron...
