Multi Locus Sequence Typing of Chlamydia Reveals an Association between Chlamydia psittaci Genotypes and Host Species
Chlamydia comprises a group of obligate intracellular bacterial parasites responsible for a variety of diseases in humans and animals, including several zoonoses. Chlamydia trachomatis causes diseases such as trachoma, urogenital infection and lymphogranuloma venereum with severe morbidity. Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common cause of community-acquired respiratory tract infections. Chlamydia psit...
متن کاملChlamydia psittaci in birds of prey, Sweden
BACKGROUND Chlamydia psittaci is an intracellular bacterium primarily causing respiratory diseases in birds but may also be transmitted to other animals, including humans. The prevalence of the pathogen in wild birds in Sweden is largely unknown. METHODS DNA was extracted from cloacae swabs and screened for C. psittaci by using a 23S rRNA gene PCR assay. Partial 16S rRNA and ompA gene fragmen...
متن کاملMolecular prevalence and genotyping of Chlamydia spp. in wild birds from South Korea
Wild birds are reservoirs for Chlamydia spp. Of the total 225 samples from wild birds during January to September 2016 in Korea, 4 (1.8%) and 2 (0.9%) showed positive for Chlamydia psittaci and Chlamydia gallinacea, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses and comparisons of sequence identities for outer-membrane protein A (ompA) revealed that Korean C. psittaci fall into three previously known geno...

Chlamydophila psittaci and Chlamydophila pecorum infections in goats and sheep in Egypt.
The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of chlamydiosis in free-ranging asymptomatic and diarrhoeic sheep and goats in Egypt. Faecal swabs were examined for the presence of Chlamydiae by culture in Vero cells and chick embryos, and staining with Giménez, direct fluorescein-conjugated monoclonal antibodies, and immunoperoxidase. Specific chlamydial DNA was identified by amplifi...
