Insights Into a Chlamydia pneumoniae-Specific Gene Cluster of Membrane Binding Proteins

Chlamydia pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular pathogen that causes diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract and is linked to a number of severe and chronic conditions. Here, we describe a large, C. pneumoniae-specific cluster of 13 genes (termed mbp1-13) that encode highly homologous ch...
