Query: NC_003361:803713 Chlamydophila caviae GPIC, complete genome

Lineage: Chlamydophila caviae; Chlamydophila; Chlamydiaceae; Chlamydiales; Chlamydiae; Bacteria

General Information: Causes conjunctivitis in guinea pigs. 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. Chlamydophila caviae is the model organism for the study of Chlamydia infections in animals.

Subject: NC_012039:412837 Campylobacter lari RM2100, complete genome

Lineage: Campylobacter lari; Campylobacter; Campylobacteraceae; Campylobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Causes gastrointestinal disease. This organism is closely related to C. jejuni and C. coli and is a foodborne pathogen that causes gastroenteritis and diarrhea. In addition this organism can cause bacteremia and septicemia in immunocompromised individuals. The bacterium is found in a variety of habitats including water environments, and seagulls are considered a reservoir for the organism. Shellfish can harbor the organism when inhabiting water contaminated by seagulls carrying the organism.
