Reduction of bacterial titers by low-dose aspirin in experimental aortic valve endocarditis.

abstract：:The chlamydial inclusion occupies a unique niche within the eukaryotic cell that does not interact with endocytic compartments but instead is fusogenic with a subset of sphingomyelin-containing exocytic vesicles. The Chlamydia trachomatis inclusion acquires these distinctive properties by as early as 2 h postinfection...
