Abstract
We could demonstrate that the complex environment of a human artery did not support the growth of Chlamydia pneumoniae although the presence of chlamydial LPS in the artery vessel wall following experimental infection was a common event. The presence of chlamydial LPS in the absence of viable organisms within the artery vessel wall may explain the failure of antibiotic treatment strategies for atherosclerosis.
