Taxogenomics of the order Chlamydiales. [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2015 Bacterial classification is a long-standing problem for taxonomists and species definition itself is constantly debated among specialists. The classification of strict intracellular bacteria such as members of the order Chlamydiales mainly relies on DNA-

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).

Evolutionary conservation of infection-induced cell death inhibition among Chlamydiales. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Control of host cell death is of paramount importance for the survival and replication of obligate intracellular bacteria. Among these, human pathogenic Chlamydia induces the inhibition of apoptosis in a variety of different host cells by directly ...

Development of a new chlamydiales-specific real-time PCR and its application to respiratory clinical samples. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2011 Originally composed of the single family Chlamydiaceae, the Chlamydiales order has extended considerably over the last several decades. Chlamydia-related bacteria were added and classified into six different families and family-level lineages: the ...

Diversity of Chlamydiales detected in pet birds privately kept in individual homes in Japan. [PDF]
J Vet Med Sci, 2023 Chlamydia-related bacteria of the Chlamydiales order have recently been described as emerging pathogens that cause pneumonia and abortion in animals and humans. We investigated the presence of Chlamydiales using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by targeting the 16S rRNA gene of a broad range of Chlamydiales in 827 fecal samples from pet birds ...

Optimization and Application of Real-Time qPCR Assays in Detection and Identification of Chlamydiales in Products of Domestic Ruminant Abortion [PDF]
Pathogens, 2023 Domestic ruminant abortions due to infectious agents represent an important cause of economic losses in the agricultural industry. This study aimed to optimise and apply qPCR assays for detection of Chlamydiales in domestic ruminant abortion cases ...

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 (

BLAST screening of chlamydial genomes to identify signature proteins that are unique for the
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

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 ...
