Validation of a PCR Assay for Chlamydophila abortus rRNA gene detection in a murine model
Chlamydophila abortus (C. abortus) is associated with reproductive problems in cattle, sheep, and goats. Diagnosis of C. abortus using embryonated chicken eggs or immortalized cell lines has a very low sensitivity.

Epidemiology of Chlamydophila caviae-like Chlamydia Isolated from Urethra and Uterine Cervix [PDF]
In 2000, chlamydial strains OK133 and OK135 were isolated from 2 female patients with cervicitis. These strains were unresponsive to commercially available PCR and LCR test kits for the diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis infection, and their phenotypic ...

Neglected zoonotic agents in cattle abortion: tackling the difficult to grow bacteria. [PDF]
Coxiella burnetii, Chlamydia abortus and Leptospira spp. are difficult to grow bacteria that play a role in bovine abortion, but their diagnosis is hampered by their obligate intracellular lifestyle (C. burnetii, C. abortus) or their lability (Leptospira

The role of peptidoglycan in chlamydial cell division: towards resolving the chlamydial anomaly [PDF]
Chlamydiales are obligate intracellular bacteria including some important pathogens causing trachoma, genital tract infections and pneumonia, among others. They share an atypical division mechanism, which is independent of an FtsZ homologue.

Crescent and star shapes of members of the Chlamydiales order: impact of fixative methods. [PDF]
Members of the Chlamydiales order all share a biphasic lifecycle alternating between small infectious particles, the elementary bodies (EBs) and larger intracellular forms able to replicate, the reticulate bodies.
