RESUMO

Using pharmacologic and biochemical criteria, we evaluated whether uptake of four different Chlamydia trachomatis serovars, D, E, K, and L2, was dependent upon lipid rafts. Our data suggest that lipid raft-mediated entry is not required for C. trachomatis infection of cultured epithelial cells.
