Analysis of polymorphic membrane protein expression in cultured cells Identifies PmpA and PmpH of Chlamydia psittaci as candidate factors in pathogenesis and immunity to infection [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The polymorphic membrane protein (Pmp) paralogous families of Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia abortus are putative targets for Chlamydia vaccine development. To determine whether this is also the case for Pmp family members of C.

Chlamydia psittaciin birds of prey, Sweden [PDF]
Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, 2012 Chlamydia psittaci is an intracellular bacterium primarily causing respiratory diseases in birds but may also be transmitted to other animals, including humans. The prevalence of the pathogen in wild birds in Sweden is largely unknown.DNA was extracted from cloacae swabs and screened for C. psittaci by using a 23S rRNA gene PCR assay.

Chlamydia psittaci in garden birds in Sweden [PDF]
One Health, 2023 Increased numbers of human infections with Chlamydia psittaci have been associated with bird feeding activities in southern Sweden. Information on occurrence and genotype of C. psittaci in garden birds in Sweden is required to corroborate this finding but data are limited. Additionally, pathogenicity of C. psittaci for garden birds is poorly understood.

Growth of Chlamydia psittaci in macrophages [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1978 Survival and growth of L-cell-cultivated Chlamydia psittaci occurred in mouse macrophages in vitro. Two major factors governing the intracellular fate of chlamydiae in macrophages are: (i) the multiplicity of infection (MOI), i.e., the elementary body (EB)-to-macrophage ratio, and (ii) the state of the EB. At a low MOI (1:1) survival and growth of live,

Surface properties of Chlamydia psittaci [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1980 The surface properties of elementary bodies of Chlamydia psittaci were investigated by diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex chromatography, cytophoresis, partitioning in an aqueous polymer two-phase system, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography of the organism. The surface of C. psittaci was found to be hydrophobic and negatively charged at pH 7 and to have

The CrP operon of Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia pneumoniae [PDF]
Microbiology, 1995 One of the critical developmental events during the unique intracellular life cycle of Chlamydiae is their differentiation from a metabolically active, replicative form or reticulate body (RB) to an infectious extracellular form of the organism (elementary body or EB). This process is characterized by the expression of two extraordinarily cysteine-rich

Pneumonia grave por "Chlamydia psittaci" [PDF]
Jornal de Pneumologia, 2001 A psitacose, também conhecida como ornitose, é causada pela Chlamydia psittaci; caracteriza-se por doença de início insidioso, sintomas brandos e inespecíficos, lembrando infecção de vias aéreas superiores. Acomete principalmente o pulmão, sendo raramente doença sistêmica e fatal. Descreve-se um caso raro de pneumonia por Chlamydia psittaci que evoluiu

Chlamydia psittaci infection in canaries heavily infested by Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]
, 2011 Dermanyssus gallinae is a haematophagous ectoparasite responsible for anemia, weight loss, dermatitis and a decrease in egg production. Dermanyssus gallinae may play a role in the modulation of the host immune system, maybe predisposing the host to some ...

An unusual presentation of a case of human psittacosis [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Chlamydia psittaci is a gram-negative, obligate intracellular organism. Birds are the main reservoir, but also non-avian domestic animals and humans can be infected.
