The <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> Plasmid Is a Transcriptional Regulator of Chromosomal Genes and a Virulence Factor

17 Mar 2008

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydia trachomatis possesses a cryptic 7.5-kb plasmid of unknown function. Here, we describe a comprehensive molecular and biological characterization of the naturally occurring plasmidless human C. trachomatis strain L2(25667R). We found that despite minimal chromosomal polymorphisms, the LGV strain L2(25667R) was indistinguishable from plasmid-positive strain L2(434) with regard to its in vitro infectivity...
