Abstract

Although historically a genetically intractable bacterium, Chlamydia is experiencing a renaissance for molecular genetic manipulation. Two new studies published in Cell Host & Microbe, Mirrashidi et al. (2015) and Kokes et al. (2015), have dramatically changed the landscape of what is possible for molecular dissection of Chlamydia-host interactions.
