A Case Report of Chlamydia psittaci Infective Endocarditis Complicated With Pneumonia

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Psittacosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Chlamydia psittaci and is commonly found in birds and poultry. Human infection is uncommon, and most cases are sporadic. Infection of extrapulmonary organs by Chlamydia psittaci is extremely rare. A rare case of infective endocarditis complicated by pneumonia caused by Chlamydia psittaci was reported, which ...

The DUF582 proteins of Chlamydia trachomatis bind to components of the ESCRT machinery, which is dispensable for bacterial growth in vitro.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2016
Chlamydiae are Gram negative bacteria that develop exclusively inside eukaryotic host cells, within a membrane-bounded compartment. Members of the family Chlamydiaceae, such as Chlamydia trachomatis, are pathogenic species infecting vertebrates.

The Chlamydia psittaci genome: a comparative analysis of intracellular pathogens. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundChlamydiaceae are a family of obligate intracellular pathogens causing a wide range of diseases in animals and humans, and facing unique evolutionary constraints not encountered by free-living prokaryotes.

Chlamydia species in free-living Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) and Hoopoe (Upupa epops) in Egypt

International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, 2014
Little information is available on the presence of chlamydia infection in wildlife. This study was conducted to assess the occurrence of chlamydiae in asymptomatic birds from two species of wild birds (Cattle Egret and Hoopoe) in Egypt.

Isolation of a New Chlamydia species from the Feral Sacred Ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus): Chlamydia ibidis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Investigations conducted on feral African Sacred Ibises (Threskiornisaethiopicus) in western France led to the isolation of a strain with chlamydial genetic determinants. Ultrastructural analysis, comparative sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene, ompA,

New insights into the interactions between the gut microbiota and the inflammatory response to ulcerative colitis in a mouse model of dextran sodium sulfate and possible mechanisms of action for treatment with PE&AFWE

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 83-97, April 2024.
Changes in gut microbiota before and after treatment. Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a heterogeneous state of chronic intestinal inflammation. Intestinal innate immunity, including innate immune cells, defends against pathogens and excessive entry of gut microbiota ...

Identification of nine species of the Chlamydiaceae using PCR-RFLP [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 1999
The family Chlamydiaceae contains two genera and nine species. Rapid and easy identification of these species is essential for taxonomic, epidemiological and clinical determinations. Currently, DNA sequence analysis is the only accepted method that decisively distinguishes all nine species.

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.

Host avian species and environmental conditions influence the microbial ecology of brood parasitic brown‐headed cowbird nestlings: What rules the roost?

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 6, March 2024.
Abstract The role of species interactions, as well as genetic and environmental factors, all likely contribute to the composition and structure of the gut microbiome; however, disentangling these independent factors under field conditions represents a challenge for a functional understanding of gut microbial ecology.
