The Impact of Lateral Gene Transfer in Chlamydia

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Lateral gene transfer (LGT) facilitates many processes in bacterial ecology and pathogenesis, especially regarding pathogen evolution and the spread of antibiotic resistance across species.

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

The many faces of chlamydiae

, 2000
The application of modern research tools has broadened our understanding of the chlamydiae and their role in disease. Chlamydial genome analysis showed the presence of genes for ATP and peptidoglycan synthesis, contradicting the common belief that ...

Marine Sediments Illuminate Chlamydiae Diversity and Evolution

, 2020
The bacterial phylum Chlamydiae is so far composed of obligate symbionts of eukaryotic hosts. Well known for Chlamydiaceae, pathogens of humans and other animals, Chlamydiae also include so-called environmental lineages that primarily infect microbial ...

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
