Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2007 The focus on chlamydia in this issue of STI is timely. A debate on the second day of the 17th International Society for STD Research and 10th International Union against STI meeting in Seattle on 30 July will address the topic “Epidemiology of chlamydial infection: are we losing ground?” The first “special issue” about sexually transmitted Chlamydia ...

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 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 =

Chlamydia species-dependent differences in the growth requirement for lysosomes.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Genome reduction is a hallmark of obligate intracellular pathogens such as Chlamydia, where adaptation to intracellular growth has resulted in the elimination of genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes.

Amoebal endosymbiont Parachlamydia acanthamoebae Bn9 can grow in immortal human epithelial HEp-2 cells at low temperature; an in vitro model system to study chlamydial evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ancient chlamydiae diverged into pathogenic and environmental chlamydiae 0.7-1.4 billion years ago. However, how pathogenic chlamydiae adapted to mammalian cells that provide a stable niche at approximately 37 °C, remains unknown, although environmental ...

Protochlamydia naegleriophila as Etiologic Agent of Pneumonia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 Using ameba coculture, we grew a Naegleria endosymbiont. Phenotypic, genetic, and phylogenetic analyses supported its affiliation as Protochlamydia naegleriophila sp. nov. We then developed a specific diagnostic PCR for Protochlamydia spp.
