The genus Chlamydia encompasses a number of species of obligate
intracellular bacteria, including important human pathogens like
the most common bacterial agent of sexually transmitted disease.
This volume reviews current knowledge of chlamydial biology,
covering the unusual structure of the bacteria - which alternate
between metabolically almost inactive and fast-dividing forms. It
also discusses the ways in which Chlamydia manipulates the host
cytoskeleton and subverts the host cell's defence, and illustrates
how genomics have begun to uncover the diversity and complexity of
chlamydial strains that look very similar but may cause distinct
forms of disease. Further, it describes how techniques are now
finally being established that can genetically modify Chlamydia,
and discusses why such modification is still very difficult and
what progress we can expect. Lastly, it presents our current
understanding of chlamydial disease: what do we know about chronic
infections, what are the mechanisms of inflammatory damage, and
what are the prospects of a vaccine? Written be specialists in
these various areas, the book is a valuable work of reference for
students and scientists with an interest in the molecular, cellular
and immunobiology of these fascinating bacteria.
