Epidemiology of Chlamydia pneumoniae [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 1998
Chlamydia pneumoniae is the most commonly occurring intracellular bacterial pathogen. It is frequently involved in respiratory tract infections and to a lesser degree in extrapulmonary diseases. According to seroepidemiologic surveys, C. pneumoniae infection seems to be both endemic and epidemic. Such studies indicate that C.

The morphology of Chlamydia pneumoniae [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1993
The morphology of a recently isolated strain of Chlamydia pneumoniae, YK-41, was compared by electronmicroscopy with C. pneumoniae TWAR, Chlamydia trachomatis L2/434/Bu and Chlamydia psittaci Cal 10. The results showed that "pear-shaped" morphology was not typical of C. pneumoniae.
