Query: NC_015713:2193610 Simkania negevensis Z chromosome gsn.131, complete genome

Lineage: Simkania negevensis; Simkania; Simkaniaceae; Chlamydiales; Chlamydiae; Bacteria

General Information: This bacterium is named after Simona Kahane who discovered the organism as a contaminant in cell cultures at Ber Sheva, in the Negev Desert, Israel, in 1993. Simkania negevensis is a member of the order Chlamydiales and can reside intracellularly and has a slow prolonged developmental cycle. It has a wide geographical and environmental distribution and is associated with pneumonia, bronchiolitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, furthermore, it is completely resistant to penicillin and to bacitracin. The natural hosts of Simkania negevensis bacteria might be amoebae.

Subject: NC_015702:2505633 Parachlamydia acanthamoebae UV7, complete genome

Lineage: Parachlamydia acanthamoebae; Parachlamydia; Parachlamydiaceae; Chlamydiales; Chlamydiae; Bacteria

General Information: This organism grows within Acanthamoeba spp., and uses these widespread ameobae as a replicative niche. They are the causal agents of severe upper respiratory infections in humans and animals. They are resistant to quinolones, antibiotics used to treat atypical pneuomonia.
