Localization of chlamydial group Antigen in McCoy cell monolayers infected with Chlamydia trachomatis or Chlamydia psittaci.

abstract：:Obligate vacuolar pathogens produce proteins that localize to the host cell-derived membranes of the vacuoles in which they reside, yielding unique organelles that are optimally suited for pathogen survival. Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an obligate vacuolar bacterium that infects neutrophils and causes the emerging an...
