Development of a New Chlamydiales-Specific Real-Time PCR and Its Application to Respiratory Clinical Samples

A new Chlamydiales-specific real-time PCR targeting the conserved 16S rRNA gene was developed and can detect at least five DNA copies and show very high specificity without cross-amplification from other bacterial clade DNA.

Probiotic yogurt and acidified milk similarly reduce postprandial inflammation and both alter the gut microbiota of healthy, young men.

Probiotic yogurt and acidified milk similarly reduce postprandial inflammation that is associated with a HFM while inducing distinct changes in the gut microbiota of healthy men, which could be relevant for dietary treatments that target 'low-grade' inflammation.

The High Prevalence and Diversity of Chlamydiales DNA within Ixodes ricinus Ticks Suggest a Role for Ticks as Reservoirs and Vectors of Chlamydia-Related Bacteria

A role for ticks in the transmission of and as a reservoir for these emerging pathogenic Chlamydia-related bacteria is suggested and a high level of biodiversity was observed, since six of the nine families belonging to the Chlamydiales order were detected.

β-Klotho deficiency protects against obesity through a crosstalk between liver, microbiota, and brown adipose tissue.

The results suggested that DIO resistance in Klb-/- mice is caused by high levels of DCA, signaling through the TGR5 receptor, and demonstrated that gut microbiota can regulate host thermogenesis via conversion of primary into secondary BA.

Phylogenomics reveal that Mycobacterium kansasii subtypes are species-level lineages. Description of Mycobacterium pseudokansasii sp. nov., Mycobacterium innocens sp. nov. and Mycobacterium…

Core-genome phylogeny confirmed the current M. kansasii species to be polyphyletic and proposed new species names that suggest the attenuated pathogenicity of the other subtypes, as well as proposing a new species-level lineage based on the genomic data but no strain was available.

Neglected zoonotic agents in cattle abortion: tackling the difficult to grow bacteria

Molecular detection by real-time PCR complemented by histopathological analysis is recommended to improve definitive diagnosis of bovine abortion cases and determine a more accurate prevalence of these zoonotic pathogens.

Parachlamydia and Rhabdochlamydia in Premature Neonates

To the Editor: New members have recently been recognized in the order Chlamydiales (1). The family Rhabdochlamydiaceae includes R. porcellionis (a parasite of Porcellio scaber) and R. crassificans (a…
