Requirement of GrgA for Chlamydia infectious progeny production, optimal growth, and efficient plasmid maintenance
19 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Chlamydia , an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen, has a unique developmental cycle involving the differentiation of invading elementary bodies (EBs) to noninfectious reticulate bodies (RBs), replication of RBs, and redifferentiation of RBs into progeny EBs. Progression of this cycle is regulated by three sigma factors, which direct the RNA polymerase to their respective target gene promoters. We...
