Chlamydia pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular
parasite with a developmental cycle believed to be common to all
members of the genus Chlamydia. We present a detailed
description based on transmission and scanning electron microscopy of
temporal events and inclusion structures throughout the C. pneumoniae AR-39 developmental cycle.
