Prevalence and diversity of Chlamydiales and other amoeba-resisting bacteria in domestic drinking water systems [PDF]
New Microbes and New Infections, 2017 A growing number of human infections incriminate environmental bacteria that have evolved virulent mechanisms to resist amoebae and use them as a replicative niche. These bacteria are designated amoeba-resisting bacteria (ARB).

Neglected zoonotic agents in cattle abortion: tackling the difficult to grow bacteria [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2017 Background Coxiella burnetii, Chlamydia abortus and Leptospira spp. are difficult to grow bacteria that play a role in bovine abortion, but their diagnosis is hampered by their obligate intracellular lifestyle (C. burnetii, C. abortus) or their lability (

Are ELISA and PCR Discrepancies in the Identification of Chlamydia pneumoniae Caused by the Presence of “Chlamydia-Related Bacteria”? [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Chlamydia are Gram-negative, intracellular pathogens colonizing the epithelial mucosa. They cause primarily atypical pneumonia and have recently been associated with chronic diseases.

Surveillance of Amoebic Keratitis-Causing Acanthamoebae for Potential Bacterial Endosymbionts in Ontario, Canada [PDF]
Pathogens, 2022 Acanthamoeba spp. are the causative pathogens of several infections, including amoebic keratitis (AK), a vision-threatening infection. Acanthamoebae from corneal specimens of patients with AK harbor bacterial endosymbionts, which may increase virulence ...
