Abstract excerpt

To determine if the host-modulated adherence characteristics of the intracellular bacterial pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis were due to the acquisition of altered surface-exposed proteins, highly purified chlamydiae grown in two different host cells were analysed. Two serovars, L1 and E, were grow...
