Chlamydia trachomatis Bacteria and PmpD Protein, TEM


Transmission electron micrograph shows the flower-like structure of the PmpD protein of the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium. Scientists are hoping to develop PmpD into a vaccine candidate to prevent chlamydial infection. Chlamydia trachomatis, an obligate intracellular human pathogen, is one of three bacterial species in the genus Chlamydia. Chlamydia trachomatis, is a Gram-negative bacteria.
