Transformation of Chlamydia muridarum Reveals a Role for Pgp5 in Suppression of Plasmid-Dependent Gene Expression

Transformation of Chlamydia trachomatis should greatly advance the chlamydial research. However, significant progress has been hindered by the failure of C. trachomatis to induce clinically relevant pathology in animal models.
