We present the first genome sequence of Chlamydophila psittaci, an intracellular pathogen of birds and a human zoonotic pathogen. A comparison with previously sequenced Chlamydophila genomes shows that, as in other chlamydiae, most of the genome diversity is restricted to the plasticity zone. The C. psittaci plasmid was also sequenced.
我们呈现了鹦鹉热衣原体的首个基因组序列,这是一种鸟类的细胞内病原体,也是一种人类动物源性病原体。与先前测序的衣原体基因组进行比较表明,与其他衣原体一样,大多数基因组多样性仅限于可塑性区。我们还对鹦鹉热衣原体质粒进行了测序。
