Genome sequence of the obligate intracellular animal pathogen Chlamydia pecorum E58.
Chlamydia pecorum is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes diverse disease in a wide variety of economically important mammals. We report the finished complete genome sequence of C. pecorum E58, the type strain for the species.
متن کاملGenome sequence of an obligate intracellular pathogen of humans: Chlamydia trachomatis.
Analysis of the 1,042,519-base pair Chlamydia trachomatis genome revealed unexpected features related to the complex biology of chlamydiae. Although chlamydiae lack many biosynthetic capabilities, they retain functions for performing key steps and interconversions of metabolites obtained from their mammalian host cells. Numerous potential virulence-associated proteins also were characterized. S...
متن کاملThe Obligate Intracellular Pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis Targets Host Lipid Droplets
Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous but poorly understood neutral-lipid-rich eukaryotic organelles that may participate in functions as diverse as lipid homeostasis, membrane traffic, and signaling . We report that infection with the obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis, the causative agent of trachoma and many sexually transmitted diseases , leads to the accumulation of neutra...
متن کاملAn Optimal Method of Iron Starvation of the Obligate Intracellular Pathogen, Chlamydia Trachomatis
Iron is an essential cofactor in a number of critical biochemical reactions, and as such, its acquisition, storage, and metabolism is highly regulated in most organisms. The obligate intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis experiences a developmental arrest when iron within the host is depleted. The nature of the iron starvation response in Chlamydia is relatively uncharacterized because...
متن کاملApoptosis of epithelial cells and macrophages due to infection with the obligate intracellular pathogen Chlamydia psittaci.
We have characterized the cytotoxic activity of the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia psittaci, which resides within a membrane-bound vacuole during the 2-day infection cycle. We have established that infected epithelial cells and macrophages die through apoptosis, which is measurable within 1 day of infection and requires productive infection by the bacteria. Inhibition of host cell p...
