Presence and diversity of Chlamydiae bacteria in Spinturnix myoti, an ectoparasite of bats
Parasite, 2020 Chlamydia spp. and Chlamydia-like organisms are able to infect vertebrates such as mammals, reptiles and birds, but also arthropods and protozoans. Since they have been detected in bats and bat feces, we expected Chlamydiae bacteria to also be present in

Chlamydiae in the Environment [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2020 Chlamydiae have been known for more than a century as major pathogens of humans. Yet they are also found ubiquitously in the environment where they thrive within protists and in an unmatched wide range of animals. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding chlamydial diversity and distribution in nature.

Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health, 2021 Gonorrhea and chlamydia rates have risen to record-high levels in the United States over the past decade. Because these infections are often asymptomatic, effective clinical management relies on screening of asymptomatic patients, particularly women younger than 25 years and men who have sex with men.

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

An in silico analysis of rpoB mutations to affect Chlamydia trachomatis sensitivity to rifamycin
Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Background Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular gram-negative pathogen, responsible for diverse affections, mainly trachoma and sexually transmitted diseases. Antibiotics are the commonly used drugs to tackle chlamydiae infections. However,
