Multi locus sequence typing of Chlamydiales: clonal groupings within the obligate intracellular bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis (2008)

Pannekoek, Yvonne, Morelli, Giovanna, Kusecek, Barica, Morré, Servaas A, Ossewaarde, Jacobus M, Langerak, Ankie A, ...

Abstract Background The obligate intracellular growing bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis causes diseases like trachoma, urogenital infection and lymphogranuloma venereum with severe morbidity. Several...

Chlamydophila pneumoniaeinduces a sustained airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in mice (2007)

Blasi, Francesco, Aliberti, Stefano, Allegra, Luigi, Piatti, Gioia, Tarsia, Paolo, Ossewaarde, Jacobus M, ...

Abstract Background It has been reported that Chlamydophila (C.) pneumoniae is involved in the initiation and promotion of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Surprisingly, the...

Analysis of Genetic Heterogeneity in Chlamydia trachomatis Clinical Isolates of Serovars D, E, and F by Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism

Morré, Servaas A., Ossewaarde, Jacobus M., Savelkoul, Paul H. M., Stoof, Jeroen, Meijer, Chris J. L. M., Van Den Brule, Adriaan J. C.

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprinting of clinical isolates of Chlamydia trachomatis serovars D, E, and F showed a low percentage of genetic heterogeneity, but clear differences...

Coronary Angioplasty Induces Rise in Chlamydia pneumoniae-Specific Antibodies

Tiran, Andreas, Tio, Rene A., Ossewaarde, Jacobus M., Tiran, Beate, Den Heijer, Peter, The, T. Hauw, ...

Chlamydia pneumoniae is frequently found in atherosclerotic lesions, and high titers of specific antibodies are associated with increased risk for acute myocardial infarction. However, a causative...

Normal IncA Expression and Fusogenicity of Inclusions in Chlamydia trachomatis Isolates with the incA I47T Mutation

Pannekoek, Yvonne, Van Der Ende, Arie, Eijk, Paul P., Van Marle, Jan, De Witte, Moniek A., Ossewaarde, Jacobus M., ...

To investigate the correlation between the incA I47T mutation in Chlamydia trachomatis and the nonfusogenic phenotype, the incA genes of 25 isolates were sequenced. Four major sequence types were...
