Abstract
- Chlamydiae replicate in host cells within specialised vacuoles (inclusions), which are eventually ruptured to liberate the bacteria, leading to cell lysis. Here, Kerret al. use a laser ablation technique and videomicroscopy to show that inclusion rupture triggers a necrotic pathway in the host cell.
