Whole-Genome Sequences of Low-Virulence Strain CB3 and Mild Strain CB7 of Chlamydia psittaci
Avian Chlamydia psittaci is an obligate intracellular zoonotic pathogen especially dispersed from birds, and it is known to cause pericarditis, pneumonia, lateral nasal adenitis, peritonitis, hepatitis, splenitis, and other diseases. Generalized infections result in fever, anorexia, lethargy, and diarrhea, depending on the chlamydial genotype and the affected bird species. Although many complet...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Chlamydia psittaci Strain 01DC12 Originating from Swine
Chlamydia psittaci is the etiological agent of psittacosis and is a zoonotic pathogen infecting birds and a variety of mammalian hosts. Here we report the genome sequence of the porcine strain 01DC12 which is representative of a novel clade of C. psittaci belonging to ompA genotype E.
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequences of Chlamydia psittaci Strain HJ, Isolated from Meat Pigeons with Severe Respiratory Distress and High Mortality
The obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterium Chlamydia psittaci causes systemic disease in psittacine birds, domestic poultry, and wild fowl. Importantly, C. psittaci may cause pneumonia, encephalitis, endocarditis, and even death in humans. The potential of pigeons as a source of human psittacosis is supported worldwide by relatively high seroconversion rates in the birds. This study rep...
متن کاملMolecular characterisation of the Chlamydia pecorum plasmid from porcine, ovine, bovine, and koala strains indicates plasmid-strain co-evolution
Background. Highly stable, evolutionarily conserved, small, non-integrative plasmids are commonly found in members of the Chlamydiaceae and, in some species, these plasmids have been strongly linked to virulence. To date, evidence for such a plasmid in Chlamydia pecorum has been ambiguous. In a recent comparative genomic study of porcine, ovine, bovine, and koala C. pecorum isolates, we identif...
متن کاملCharacterization of DNA fragment from Chlamydia psittaci avian strain which shows high homology with hypB gene of Chlamydia.
A study was performed to characterize DNA fragment No. 17 of C. psittaci strain P-1041 which encoded 42 KD beta-galactosidase fusion protein with type-specific antigenicity. Sequence determination identified a partial open reading frame that spanned about 1,200b. p. nucleotides. Screening the literatures for the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences revealed extensive similarity between t...
