Chlamydia pneumoniae in a Free-Ranging Giant Barred Frog (Mixophyes iteratus) from Australia

Berger, Lee, Volp, Kym, Mathews, Sarah, Speare, Rick, Timms, Peter

The koala biovar of Chlamydia pneumoniae was identified in lung tissue from a sick, free-ranging giant barred frog (Mixophyes iteratus) by using electron microscopy, C. pneumoniae-specific...

Ultrastructural Study of Chlamydia pneumoniae In a Continuous-Infection Model

Kutlin, Andrei, Flegg, Cameron, Stenzel, Deb, Reznik, Tamara, Roblin, Patricia M., Mathews, Sarah, ...

We have established an in vitro model of long-term continuous Chlamydia pneumoniae infection in HEp-2 cells. Using transmission electron microscopy, we demonstrated the presence of spontaneous...

Identification and Mapping of Sigma-54 Promoters in Chlamydia trachomatis

Mathews, Sarah A., Timms, Peter

The first ς54 promoters in Chlamydia trachomatis L2 were mapped upstream of hypothetical proteins CT652.1 and CT683. Comparative genomics indicated that these ς54 promoters and potential upstream...

Detection of Chlamydia pneumoniae DNA and Antigen in the Circulating Mononuclear Cell Fractions of Humans and Koalas

Bodetti, Tracey J., Timms, Peter

Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common respiratory pathogen of humans which, in addition to causing disease at the respiratory site, has recently been linked to disease at other body sites. If C....

Koala Biovar of Chlamydia pneumoniae Infects Human and Koala Monocytes and Induces Increased Uptake of Lipids In Vitro

Coles, Katie A., Timms, Peter, Smith, David W.

We examined the ability of the koala biovar of Chlamydia pneumoniae to infect both Hep-2 cells and human monocytes and the effect of infection on the formation of foam cells. The koala biovar...

Efficiency of Transcription from Promoter Sequence Variants in Lactobacillus Is Both Strain and Context Dependent

McCracken, Andrea, Timms, Peter

The introduction of consensus −35 (TTGACA) and −10 (TATAAT) hexamers and a TG motif into the Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 wild-type slpA promoter resulted in significant improvements...

Comparison of PCR, Nested PCR, and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA PCR for Detection and Typing of Ureaplasma urealyticum in Specimens from Pregnant Women

Knox, Christine L., Timms, Peter

A PCR assay, using three primer pairs, was developed for the detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum, parvo biovar, mba types 1, 3, and 6, in cultured clinical specimens. The primer pairs were designed...

Distribution of Chlamydia pneumoniae DNA in Atherosclerotic Carotid Arteries: Significance for Sampling Procedures

Cochrane, Melanie, Pospischil, Andreas, Walker, Philip, Gibbs, Harry, Timms, Peter

Despite extensive efforts to confirm a direct association between Chlamydia pneumoniae and atherosclerosis, different laboratories continue to report a large variability in detection rates. In this...

Protein Expression Profiles of Chlamydia pneumoniae in Models of Persistence versus Those of Heat Shock Stress Response

Mukhopadhyay, Sanghamitra, Miller, Richard D., Sullivan, Erin D., Theodoropoulos, Christina, Mathews, Sarah A., Timms, Peter, ...

Chlamydia pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular pathogen that causes both acute and chronic human disease. Several in vitro models of chlamydial persistence have been established to mimic...

Interaction of microbiology and pathology in women undergoing investigations for infertility.

Debattista, Joseph, Gazzard, Caroline M, Wood, Robyn N, Allan, John A, Allan, Janet M, Scarman, Anthony, ...

BACKGROUND: Cases of endometriosis with no tubal damage are associated with infertility, suggesting an immunological rather than mechanical barrier to reproduction. Laparoscopy and falloposcopy...

Isolation and Antimicrobial Susceptibilities of Chlamydial Isolates from Western Barred Bandicoots▿

Kumar, Swati, Kutlin, Andrei, Roblin, Patricia, Kohlhoff, Stephan, Bodetti, Tracey, Timms, Peter, ...
