Identification and characterization of a type III secretion system in Chlamydophila psittaci [PDF]
, 2008 Chlamydiaceae are obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria replicating in vacuoles inside eukaryotic cells. It has been proven that most of them possess a type III secretion system (T3SS) allowing them to transfer effector molecules in the host cell.

Sphingolipid Metabolism and Transport in Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia psittaci Infections [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019 Chlamydia species infect a large range of vertebral hosts and have become of major economic and public health concern over the last decades. They are obligate intracellular bacteria that undergo a unique cycle of development characterized by the presence of two distinct bacterial forms.

Two distinct forms of Chlamydia psittaci associated with disease and infertility in Phascolarctos cinereus (Koala) [PDF]
, 1988 While several diseases associated with Chlamydia psittaci infection have been reported in Phascolarctos cinereus (koala), it is still unclear whether one or more chlamydial strains are responsible.

Optimal group testing designs for estimating prevalence with uncertain testing errors [PDF]
, 2017 We construct optimal designs for group testing experiments where the goal is to estimate the prevalence of a trait by using a test with uncertain sensitivity and specificity. Using optimal design theory for approximate designs, we show that the most efficient design for simultaneously estimating the prevalence, sensitivity and specificity requires ...
