New insight on chlamydiae. [PDF]

J Vet Res, 2023
This article provides an overview of the current knowledge on chlamydiae, which are intracellular bacteria belonging to the Chlamydiaceae family. Whole-genome sequencing leads to great increases in the available data about Chlamydia spp.

What's in a word: the use, misuse, and abuse of the word “persistence” in Chlamydia biology [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
The word persistence was used by Chlamydia researchers almost as soon as Chlamydia research was born to reflect the propensity of chlamydiae to cause inapparent infection in their hosts, from birds to humans.

Prevalence of chlamydiae in dairy cattle herds and factors contributing to the spread of infections. [PDF]

J Vet Res
Different Chlamydia species affect cattle and contribute to economic losses. One of them, C. pecorum, is a globally endemic livestock pathogen. Despite its endemicity, prevalence data from Poland have so far been limited.

Use of gene sequences as type for naming prokaryotes: Recommendations of the international committee on the taxonomy of chlamydiae. [PDF]

New Microbes New Infect, 2023
The International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) discussed and rejected in 2020 a proposal to modify the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes to allow the use of gene sequences as type for naming prokaryotes.

Bacterial Communities From Two Freshwater Aquaculture Systems in Northern Germany. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Freshwater aquaculture in open systems utilises water from a natural source, which limits the control of water conditions. Water microbiome description could indicate water quality changes and be used for improving the farm management. Water microbiome composition did not change significantly between inflow and outflow water, although heterotrophic ...

An overview of genes and mutations associated with Chlamydiae species’ resistance to antibiotics

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2021
Background Chlamydiae are intracellular bacteria that cause various severe diseases in humans and animals. The common treatment for chlamydia infections are antibiotics. However, when antibiotics are misused (overuse or self-medication), this may lead to
