| reticulate body |
the noninfectious intracellular form of Chlamydia, consisting of fibrillar nuclear material and more ribosomes that occur in elementary bodies (qv), surrounded by a thin trilaminar wall. Reticulate bodies reproduce within vacuoles in the host cell; following the reproductive cycle, reticulate bodies condense into elementary bodies, which are released from the cell.
