Abstract
Chlamydiae dissociate themselves from the endocytic pathway shortly after internalization by actively modifying the vacuole to become fusogenic with sphingomyelin-containing exocytic vesicles. Interaction with this secretory pathway appears to provide a pathogenic mechanism that allows chlamydiae to establish themselves in a site that is not destined to fuse with lysosomes.Entities:
