Chlamydia recruits BAD protein
Chlamydia trachomatis promotes survival of the infected host cell, allowing the bacteria to complete their infection cycle. Shown here are Chlamydia vacuoles (green) that have recruited the death-inducing protein BAD. When released from the vacuoles, BAD helps to initiate host-cell death (see Verbeke et al).
