The analysis of iron-responsive transcriptional regulation in the intracellular human pathogen, Chlamydia trachomatis
2011-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The host-pathogen interaction is dictated by the competition for nutrients. Iron is a rare, but critical component for several conserved biochemical reactions, and as such, is at the forefront in the competition between host and pathogen. The obligate intracellular human pathogen, Chlamydia trachomatis, enters an alternative growth mode when iron is depleted within the host. Termed persistence, this growth mode is...
