Do different growth rates of Chlamydia trachomatis biovars reflect pathotype?
Precise temporal evaluation of the chlamydial developmental cycle for selected genital and ocular C. trachomatis biovars provides a means for investigating genomic differences that define chlamydial pathotype.
With increasing burden of disease due to mental disorders worldwide, knowledge of the epidemiology of these disorders are of increasing interest.
