Altered developmental expression of polymorphic membrane proteins in penicillin-stressed Chlamydia trachomatis
20 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Late Chlamydia trachomatis inclusions express each member of the surface-exposed polymorphic membrane protein family (Pmp subtypes A through I) with a reproducible distribution of fully-on, fully-off and intermediate phenotypes. This observation is consistent with observed variable Pmp antibody profiles in C. trachomatis-infected patients and has led to the hypothesis that the pmp gene family forms the basis of a...
