Chlamydia spp. cause a variety of human and animal diseases and are one of the most
prevalent causes of sexually transmitted diseases. By 16S rRNA analysis, chlamydiae fall …

The recognition of genital chlamydial infection as an important public health problem was
made first by the recognition of its role in acute clinical syndromes, as well as in serious …

Members of Chlamydiaceae have been extensively characterized by complete genome
sequencing. This information provides new understanding concerning their natural …

Chlamydiae are classified at the species level using biological, morphological, and DNA
hybridization techniques, and MOMP gene sequence analysis. These techniques can be …

A productive alternative, however, has been the use of E. coli hosts to sort and clone specific
genes that can be selected using gene fusion vectors and antibody probes or gene …

The phylogenetic relationships among Chlamydia spp. were investigated by comparing 16S
rRNA gene sequences. In this analysis we used 14 strains of Chlamydia psittaci, including …

Chlamydia is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that severely challenges the
patience and creativity of all its investigators--even to the point that some investigators have …

A great deal has been written about Chlamydia during the past few years. Several excellent
reviews are available as are recent symposia proceedings and a new volume dedicated to …

This chapter reviews the DNA and RNA of chlamydiae, the components that have been
cloned, and the genetic approaches employed to investigate the mechanisms involved with …

Current methods used to classify Chlamydia strains, including biological, morphological,
and DNA hybridization techniques and major outer membrane protein (ompl) gene analysis …
