- To screen for novel T3S effectors of C. trachomatis, we used Yersinia enterocolitica as a genetically tractable surrogate bacterial species assembling a T3S apparatus, which has been shown to recognise heterologous T3S substrates. (europa.eu)
Ribosomal1
- As negative control, we used a fusion between the first 20 amino acids of a C. trachomatis ribosomal protein and TEM-1 (RplJ20-TEM-1). (europa.eu)
Immune2
- These effectors manipulate host cell processes to enable e. g. bacterial invasion, acquisition of nutrients, inhibition of apoptosis, or interference with immune signalling. (europa.eu)
- Dr. Quayle has been funded by NIH for 22 years, and her LSU career has focused on elucidating the complex relationship between Chlamydia and the host immune response in the human genital milieu. (lsuhsc.edu)
Blindness2
Common1
- In men, the most common manifestation of C. trachomatis infection is inflammation of the urethra (about 50% of cases) [4]. (roboscreen.com)
Molecular3
- A model is proposed where the relative levels of active antagonist (RsbV1) and switch-protein anti-sigma factor (RsbW) control the availability of σ 66 and subsequently act as a molecular 'throttle' for Chlamydia growth and development. (plos.org)
- Herein, we sought to confirm and extend these findings by comparing genital epithelial barrier function in untreated rhesus macaques (RM) vs. RM treated with DMPA or DMPA and estrogen (E). Compared to controls, genital tissue from RM with pharmacologically relevant serum levels of medroxyprogesterone acetate displayed significantly lower DSG1 levels and greater permeability to low molecular mass molecules.

- Crystal structures of the Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains from the Brucella protein TcpB and host adaptor TIRAP reveal mechanisms of molecular mimicry. (umm.de)

Pregnant women3
- Clinical trials to evaluate efficacy and cost-effectiveness of chlamydia screening, and treatment of pregnant women to prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes in low-resource settings, are warranted. (bmj.com)
- 1 No programmes routinely conduct C. trachomatis screening in antenatal care in Latin America, and there are no WHO recommendations for routine C. trachomatis screening and treatment in pregnant women. (bmj.com)
