Phylogenetic analyses of Chlamydia psittaci strains from birds based on 16S rRNA gene sequence

Abstract: The nucleotide sequences of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were determined for 39 strains of Chlamydia psittaci (34 from birds and 5 from mammals) and for 4 Chlamydia pecorum strains. The sequences were compared phylogenetically with the gene sequences of nine Chlamydia strains (covering four species of the genus) retrieved from nucleotide databases. In the neighbor-joining tree, C. psittaci strains were more closely related to each other than to the other Chlamydia species, although a feline pneumonitis strain was … Show more

“…It would be interesting to study correlations of AFLP fingerprint types with phenotypical or clinical features. The C. psittaci isolates showed three AFLP fingerprints corresponding with their hosts, parakeet, pigeon, and cat, in agreement with previous reports based on other techniques (6,9,19,40,41,48).…”

“…Staphylococci are ubiquitous skin-dwelling bacteria that play critical roles in health and disease. Over 40 different human-associated Staphylococcus species have been identified 4, 5 , and the majority are considered skin commensals with neutral or even positive impacts 6 . However, two species in particular, S. aureus and S. epidermidis , have significant pathogenic potential— S. aureus causes a wide array of hospital-and community-acquired infections, including bacteremia, osteomyelitis, and skin and soft tissue infections 7 ; and S. epidermidis is the most common cause of infections associated with implanted medical devices 8 .…”
