This paper provides an overview of the current knowledge of chlamydiae. These intracellular microorganisms belonging to the family are widely distributed throughout the world. Constant development of culture-independent approaches for characterisation of microbial genomes enables new discoveries in the field of . The number of new taxa is continuously increasing as well as the range of hosts. New species and genotypes are constantly being discovered, particularly new avian and reptilian agents, which are discussed in this article. Interestingly, wild animals are the main hosts for new species including different species of bird, turtle and snake. The availability of next-generation sequencing opens up a new prospect for research and leads to deeper knowledge of these interesting microorganisms about which much is still to discover.
本文概述了目前关于衣原体的知识。这些属于该科的细胞内微生物在全球广泛分布。用于微生物基因组表征的非培养方法的不断发展,使得该领域有了新的发现。新分类单元的数量以及宿主范围都在不断增加。新的物种和基因型不断被发现,特别是新的禽类和爬行类病原体,本文将对此进行讨论。有趣的是,野生动物是包括不同鸟类、龟类和蛇类在内的新物种的主要宿主。下一代测序技术的应用为研究开辟了新前景,并使人们对这些仍有许多有待发现的有趣微生物有了更深入的了解。
