متن کاملAtherosclerosis and Chlamydophila (chlamydia) Pneumoniae
The concept that atherosclerosis was induced by environmental factors such as smoking and high fat intake was perturbated when inflammation was found to be prominent in atherosclerotic lesions. Chlamydophila pneumoniae but also other microbes inducing chronic endothelial infections have been implicated, particularly cytomegalovirus (CMV) and the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Large sero-...
متن کاملRole of Chlamydia pneumoniae in atherosclerosis.
Cardiovascular disease, resulting from atherosclerosis, is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Genetic predisposition and classical environmental risk factors explain much of the attributable risk for cardiovascular events in populations, but other risk factors for the development and progression of atherosclerosis, which can be identified and modified, may be important therapeut...
متن کاملMolecular detection and seroepidemiology of the Chlamydia pneumoniae bacteriophage (PhiCpn1).
Recent whole-genome analysis has demonstrated limited genetic variation in Chlamydia pneumoniae, with one strain (AR39) containing a 4,524 nucleotide single-stranded DNA bacteriophage, PhiCpn1. Using PCR, reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, and Western blotting, we confirmed the presence and functional expression of PhiCpn1 in C. pneumoniae strain AR39 and its absence in strain CWL029. Six addition...
