Tryptophan residue of plasmid-encoded Pgp3 is important for Chlamydia muridarum to induce hydrosalpinx in mice
The crucial role of plasmid-encoded protein Pgp3 in Chlamydia pathogenesis has been demonstrated in various animal models. Previous studies have revealed that the Pgp3-deficient C. muridarum mutant fails to induce hydrosalpinx after vaginal inoculation in mice. Structural analysis of C. trachomatis...
