Chlamydia escapes killing by:
Ans:B.)Inhibiting Phagolysosome Fusion. Inhibition of fusion of the phagocytic lysosomes (granules) with the phagosome. The bacteria survive inside of phagosomes because they prevent the discharge of lysosomal contents into the phagosome environment. Specifically, phagolysosome formation is inhibited in the phagocyte. This is the strategy employed by Salmonella, M. tuberculosis, Legionella and the chlamydiae.
