Tackling the intractable – Approaching the genetics of Chlamydiales

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2007
Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia (Chlamydophila) pneumoniae are important human pathogens with significant socio-economic and medical impact. The development of an improved therapy or vaccine would represent a major break-through in the battle against these infections.

Neglected zoonotic agents in cattle abortion: tackling the difficult to grow bacteria. [PDF]

, 2017
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 (Leptospira

Prevalence and diversity of Chlamydiales and other amoeba-resisting bacteria in domestic drinking water systems. [PDF]

, 2016
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).

Novel Chlamydiales genotypes identified in ticks from Australian wildlife [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Members of the order Chlamydiales are known for their potential as human and veterinary bacterial pathogens. Despite this recognition, epidemiological factors such as routes of transmission are yet to be fully defined. Ticks are well known vectors for many other infections with several reports recently describing the presence of bacteria in the order ...

Alterations in blood microbiota after colonic cancer surgery

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1227-1237, December 2020., 2020
This study investigated changes in the amount of bacterial DNA in blood and the diversity of blood microbiota in the perioperative period in 30 patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery for colonic cancer. DNA encoding the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene (16S rDNA) was found in whole blood from these patients, and the amount of bacterial 16S rDNA

Transcriptome Analysis Identifies Plasmodiophora brassicae Secondary Infection Effector Candidates

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 337-351, May/June 2020., 2020
Abstract Plasmodiophora brassicae (Wor.) is an obligate intracellular plant pathogen affecting Brassicas worldwide. Identification of effector proteins is key to understanding the interaction between P. brassicae and its susceptible host plants. To date, there is very little information available on putative effector proteins secreted by P.

Building peptidoglycan inside eukaryotic cells: A view from symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 613-626, March 2020., 2020
The peptidoglycan (PG), as main component of the bacterial cell wall, has attracted for decades researchers interested in basic aspects of microbial physiology and the control of microbial infections. Despite the knowledge of PG metabolism gained from bacteria grown under laboratory conditions, the structure and enzymology of the PG in bacteria ...

Trafficking of Estrella lausannensis in human macrophages. [PDF]

, 2015
Estrella lausannensis is a new member of the Chlamydiales order. Like other Chlamydia-related bacteria, it is able to replicate in amoebae and in fish cell lines.
