Identification and characterization of a novel porin family highlights a major difference in the outer membrane of chlamydial symbionts and pathogens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The Chlamydiae constitute an evolutionary well separated group of intracellular bacteria comprising important pathogens of humans as well as symbionts of protozoa.

Chlamydophila abortus Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 We report the first documented case of an extragestational infection with Chlamydophila abortus in humans. The pathogen was identified in a patient with severe pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) by sequence analysis of the ompA gene.

Natural cross chlamydial infection between livestock and free-living bird species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The study of cross-species pathogen transmission is essential to understanding the epizootiology and epidemiology of infectious diseases. Avian chlamydiosis is a zoonotic disease whose effects have been mainly investigated in humans, poultry and pet ...

New and emerging chlamydial infections of creatures great and small
New Microbes and New Infections, 2017 Until recently, our knowledge of the host range and diversity of members of the Chlamydiaceae, obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens of humans and animals, was thought to be nearly complete.

Validation of a PCR Assay for Chlamydophila abortus rRNA gene detection in a murine model
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009 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.

Chlamydiae in febrile children with respiratory tract symptoms and age-matched controls, Ghana
New Microbes and New Infections, 2018 Members of the Chlamydiales order are obligate intracellular pathogens causing acute and chronic infectious diseases. Chlamydiaceae are established agents of community- and zoonotically acquired respiratory tract infections, and emerging pathogens among ...
