title: Recent advances in Chlamydia subversion of host cytoskeletal and membrane trafficking pathways.
abstract: Chlamydia species are obligate intracellular bacteria that cause sexually transmitted disease, ocular infections and atypical pneumonia. This review highlights recent advances describing the mechanisms by which Chlamydia subvert host cytoskeleton and membrane trafficking pathways to create a replication competent niche.
