Description of Biology of Chlamydia
Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria. They live in an intracellular vacuole (the inclusion) that they customize to permit the delivery of nutrients and to provide protection against host cell defenses. Chlamydiae have two developmental forms: one is infectious (the elementary body) but has little metabolism and the other one divides very actively but is not infectious (the reticulate body).
Once a cell is infected, EBs differentiate to RBs; after a cycle of about two days, re-differentiated EBs are released, either by lysis of the host cell or by the active release of intact inclusions.
