Diversity of s66-Specific Promoters Contributes to Regulation of Developmental Gene Expression in Chlamydia trachomatis

Li Shen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the intrinsic properties of sigma(66)-specific promoters in Chlamydia trachomatis and their role in developmental gene expression. The results reveal that the TG motif is an important determinant in certain early or late promoters. These promoters can be classified into three classes based on the presence or absence of the -35 element.

The Impact of Lateral Gene Transfer in Chlamydia

Hanna Marti et al.

Summary: Lateral gene transfer (LGT) plays a crucial role in bacterial ecology and pathogenesis, including the evolution of pathogens and the spread of antibiotic resistance. Recent research has shown evidence of LGT in Chlamydia, particularly through homologous recombination within and between closely related chlamydial species. However, the exact mechanisms of DNA uptake and homologous recombination in Chlamydia still remain to be fully elucidated.

A Minimal Replicon Enables Efficacious, Species-Specific Gene Deletion in Chlamydia and Extension of Gene Knockout Studies to the Animal Model of Infection Using Chlamydia muridarum

Kenneth A. Fields et al.

Summary: The genus Chlamydia consists of diverse, obligate intracellular bacteria that infect various animals, including humans. Each chlamydial strain employs species-specific strategies that contribute to organ and/or tissue tropism and disease manifestation, making it important to develop a mutagenesis approach applicable to all chlamydial species.

Expansion of the pRAS3 Plasmid Family in Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida and Growing Evidence of Interspecies Connections for These Plasmids

Kim C. Fournier et al.

Summary: New variants of the pRAS3 plasmid were discovered, along with a genetic element similar to one found in a swine pathogen. Despite differences between plasmids, no specific trend in tetracycline resistance was observed. Furthermore, Blast analysis revealed the widespread distribution of pRAS3 plasmids in other bacterial species.

A broad-spectrum cloning vector that exists as both an integrated element and a free plasmid in Chlamydia trachomatis

Lotisha Garvin et al.

Summary: Plasmid transformation of chlamydiae provides new opportunities to study host-microbe interactions, but there are still limitations. By using a broad host-range plasmid pBBR1MCS-4, the transformation process for chlamydiae has been simplified successfully.

Generation of Tetracycline and Rifamycin Resistant Chlamydia Suis Recombinants

Hanna Marti et al.

Summary: The study showed that C. suis naturally integrated a tetracycline resistance gene into its chromosome and demonstrated the importance of simultaneous selection for increasing the number of recombinants. Sub-inhibitory concentrations of tetracycline were found to inhibit, rather than promote, the selection of double-resistant recombinants. Whole-genome sequencing revealed mutations in the rpoB gene responsible for rifampicin and rifamycin resistance.
