The human pathogenic bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common sexually transmitted bacterial pathogen worldwide. It is estimated to infect more than 100 million people each year and is a ...

Chlamydia is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection. World Health Organisation reports millions of new STI cases annually. Chlamydia trachomatis is a common cause. Many infected individuals show ...

When Chlamydia attacks the human body the immune system starts its defense mechanisms. But the bacteria find a way to defend themselves. Scientists have deciphered new details of their strategy now.

DURHAM, N.C. – Chlamydia, the leading cause of sexually transmitted bacterial infections, evades detection and elimination inside human cells by use of a cloaking device. But Duke University ...

Chlamydia trachomatis remains a major global pathogen causing both ocular and genital infections, contributing significantly to public health burdens such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, ...

Together with scientists from Paris and Munich, a team of researchers working under Prof. Dr. Johannes Hegemann and Dr. Katja Moelleken has published these findings in the journal Proceedings of the ...

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that’s most common in the genital area. That said, it’s possible to contract a chlamydial eye infection, often referred to as inclusion or chlamydial ...

There are a number of C. trachomatis gene products that exhibit variability and may modulate disease severity (Figure 3). The major categories of variable chlamydial gene products and their roles in ...

Remarkably little is known about how intracellular pathogens exit the host cell in order to infect new hosts. Pathogenic chlamydiae egress by first rupturing their replicative niche (the inclusion) ...

Scientists say they have discovered that the human immune system marks pathogen-containing vacuoles for destruction by using a molecule called ubiquitin, commonly known as the “kiss of death.” The ...

Chlamydia, the leading cause of sexually transmitted bacterial infections, evades detection and elimination inside human cells by use of a cloaking device. But researchers have grasped the hem of that ...
