Subject: NC_002620:705075 Chlamydia muridarum Nigg, complete genome
Lineage: Chlamydia muridarum; Chlamydia; Chlamydiaceae; Chlamydiales; Chlamydiae; Bacteria
General Information: This is a wild-type strain that is virulent in mice. 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. This organism causes pneumonitis (inflammation of lung tissue) in the mouse animal model and is used as a model organism to study pathogenesis.
