title: The immunobiology of Chlamydia.
abstract: Bacteria of the genus Chlamydia cause a wide variety of disorders in animals and people worldwide. The immune response to chlamydiae is poorly understood and, as Daniel Levitt shows here, there is recent evidence that these organisms induce perturbations in immune function that may assist their own survival in infected hosts and that of co-infecting microbes.
