Detection of Chlamydiaceae and Chlamydia-like organisms on the ocular surface of children and adults from a trachoma-endemic region

Scientific Reports, 2018
Trachoma, the leading infectious cause of blindness, is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct), a bacterium of the phylum Chlamydiae. Recent investigations revealed the existence of additional families within the phylum Chlamydiae, also termed Chlamydia ...

Chlamydia infection across host species boundaries promotes distinct sets of transcribed anti-apoptotic factors.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015
Chlamydiae, obligate intracellular bacteria, cause significant human and veterinary associated diseases. Having emerged an estimated 700-million years ago, these bacteria have twice adapted to humans as a host species, causing sexually transmitted ...

BLAST screening of chlamydial genomes to identify signature proteins that are unique for the Chlamydiales, Chlamydiaceae, Chlamydophila and Chlamydia groups of species

BMC Genomics, 2006
Background Chlamydiae species are of much importance from a clinical viewpoint. Their diversity both in terms of their numbers as well as clinical involvement are presently believed to be significantly underestimated. The obligate intracellular nature of

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

New Microbes and New Infections, 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.

What’s in a word: the use, misuse and abuse of the word persistence in Chlamydia biology

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.

Chlamydia Infections [PDF]

Workplace Health & Safety, 2019
Increasing rates for chlamydia and other sexually transmitted infections pose a global public health issue. Untreated chlamydia infections create an economic burden on the health care system, employers, and society. Occupational and environmental health nurses can help promote health awareness about chlamydia, teach prevention strategies, and encourage

Environmental Metagenomic Assemblies Reveal Seven New Highly Divergent Chlamydial Lineages and Hallmarks of a Conserved Intracellular Lifestyle

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The Chlamydiae phylum exclusively encompasses bacteria sharing a similar obligate intracellular life cycle. Existing 16S rDNA data support a high diversity within the phylum, however genomic data remain scarce owing to the difficulty in isolating strains
