Gene expression profiles of Chlamydophila pneumoniae during the developmental cycle and iron depletion-mediated persistence.

The obligate intracellular, gram-negative bacterium Chlamydophila pneumoniae (Cpn) has impact as a human pathogen. Little is known about changes in the Cpn transcriptome during its biphasic developmental cycle (the acute infection) and persistence. The latter stage has been linked to chronic disease...
