An increasing number of microorganisms, including bacteria but also viruses and
eukaryotes, have been described as benefiting from interaction with free-living amoebae …

Members of the phylum Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that were discovered
about a century ago. Although Chlamydiae are major pathogens of humans and animals …

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 …

Despite the considerable number of studies reported to date, the causative agents of
pneumonia are not completely identified. We comprehensively applied modern and …

Despite using modern microbiological diagnostic approaches, the aetiological agents of
pneumonia remain unidentified in about 50% of cases. Some bacteria that grow poorly or …

Parachlamydia acanthamoebae is a Chlamydia-like organism that easily grows within
Acanthamoeba spp. Thus, it probably uses these widespread free-living amoebae as a …

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 …

Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria infecting free‐living amoebae, vertebrates
and some invertebrates. Novel members are regularly discovered, and there is …

In this study, we enlarged our previous investigation focusing on the biodiversity of
chlamydiae and amoebae in a drinking water treatment plant, by the inclusion of two …
