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

Journal of Veterinary Research
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.

Unpredictable soil conditions can affect the prevalence of a microbial symbiosis [PDF]

PeerJ
The evolution of symbiotic interactions may be affected by unpredictable conditions. However, a link between prevalence of these conditions and symbiosis has not been widely demonstrated.

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,

Patterns of within-host spread of Chlamydia trachomatis between vagina, endocervix and rectum revealed by comparative genomic analysis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionChlamydia trachomatis, a gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium, commonly causes sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Little is known about C.

Whole Genome Sequencing and Comparative Genomic Analysis of Chlamydia gallinacea Field Strains Isolated from Poultry in Poland

Pathogens, 2023
Chlamydia gallinacea is an intracellular bacterium belonging to the Chlamydiaceae family. Poultry is considered to be the major reservoir of this agent, which has worldwide distribution and a particularly consistent worldwide occurrence in chicken flocks.

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

New insight on chlamydiae

Journal of Veterinary Research, 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.

Chlamydiae has contributed at least 55 genes to Plantae with predominantly plastid functions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BACKGROUND:The photosynthetic organelle (plastid) originated via primary endosymbiosis in which a phagotrophic protist captured and harnessed a cyanobacterium.

Interaction of different Chlamydiae species with bovine spermatozoa

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Interaction of spermatozoa and Chlamydiae spp. might contribute to reduced fertility in cattle. To proof this hypothesis, bovine semen was incubated with viable or heat inactivated Chlamydia (C.) abortus or psittaci (Multiplicity of infection =
