Abstract

The human respiratory tract pathogen Chlamydia pneumoniae , which causes mild to severe infections, has been associated with the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. To understand the biology of C. pneumoniae infections, several studies have investigated the interaction between C. pneumoniae and professional phagocytes. However, these studies have been conducted under nonopsonizing conditions, making the role of opsonization in C. pneumoniae infections elusive.
