Unraveling the basic biology and clinical significance of the chlamydial plasmid

Abstract excerpt

Chlamydial plasmids are small, highly conserved, nonconjugative, and nonintegrative DNA molecules that are nearly ubiquitous in many chlamydial species, including Chlamydia trachomatis. There has been significant recent progress in understanding chlamydial plasmid participation in host-microbe interactions, disease, and immune responses. Work in mouse model systems and, very recently, in nonhuman primates...
