Query: NC_014751:449001 Mycoplasma leachii PG50 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Mycoplasma leachii; Mycoplasma; Mycoplasmataceae; Mycoplasmatales; Tenericutes; Bacteria
General Information: Mycoplasma leachii, formerly Mycoplasma sp. 'bovine group 7', was originally isolated from cattle suffering from arthritis and mastitis in Australia. Mycoplasma leachii is part of the mycoides cluster like Mycoplasma mycoides SC and Mycoplasma capricolum, but it can infect both bovine and caprine hosts.
Subject: NC_005861:2120633 Candidatus Protochlamydia amoebophila UWE25, complete genome
Lineage: Protochlamydia amoebophila; Protochlamydia; Parachlamydiaceae; Chlamydiales; Chlamydiae; Bacteria
General Information: An endosymbiont of free-living amoebae (Acanthamoeba sp. endosymbiont UWE25) and implicated as a potential human pathogen this strain is an environmental isolate. Amoeba endosymbiont. Bacteria belonging to the Chlamydiales group are obligate intracellular parasites of eukaryotic cells. They are found within vertebrates, invertebrate cells, and amoebae hosts. Chlamydiae are one of the commonest causes of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and if left untreated may cause infertility in women. They are transmitted by direct contact or aerosols, and can cause various diseases, while also being able to coexist with the host in an apparently asymptomatic state. Candidatus Protochlamydia amoebophila, originally Parachlamydia is an endosymbiont of free-living amoebae (Acanthamoeba). This organism is an obligate intracellular endosymbiont and lives in small inclusions dispersed throughout the host cell.
