Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that share a unique but remarkably conserved
biphasic developmental cycle that relies on a eukaryotic host cell for survival. Although the …

Chlamydiae are a group of obligate intracellular bacteria comprising important human and
animal pathogens as well as symbionts of ubiquitous protists. They are characterized by a …

Large viruses infecting algae or amoebae belong to the NucleoCytoplasmic Large DNA
Viruses (NCLDV) and present genotypic and phenotypic characteristics that have raised …

While most bacterial species taken up by macrophages are degraded through processing of
the bacteria-containing vacuole through the endosomal-lysosomal degradation pathway …

Growing evidence suggests that a novel member of the Chlamydiales order, Waddlia
chondrophila, is a potential agent of miscarriage in humans and abortion in ruminants. Due …

The Chlamydiales order is composed of obligate intracellular bacteria and includes the
Chlamydiaceae family and several family-level lineages called Chlamydia-related bacteria …

Amoebae are unicellular protozoan present worldwide in several environments mainly
feeding on bacteria. Some of them, the amoebae-resistant bacteria (ARBs), have evolved …

Members of the Chlamydiales order are major bacterial pathogens that divide at mid-cell,
without a sequence homologue of the FtsZ cytokinetic tubulin and without a classical …

Most intracellular bacterial pathogens reside within membrane‐surrounded host‐derived
vacuoles. Few of these bacteria exploit membranes from the host's endoplasmic reticulum …

Free‐living amoebae are distributed worldwide and are frequently in contact with humans
and animals. As cysts, they can survive in very harsh conditions and resist biocides and …
