Abstract excerpt

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular mucosotropic pathogen of significant medical importance. It is the etiological agent of blinding trachoma and bacterial sexually transmitted diseases, infections that afflict hundreds of millions of people globally. The C. trachomatis polymorphic membrane protein D (PmpD) is a highly conserved autotransporter and the target of broadly cross-reactive neutralizing...
