Temperature affects the host range of Rhabdochlamydia porcellionis and the infectivity of Waddlia chondrophila and Chlamydia trachomatis elementary bodies

It is shown that R. porcellionis, the only cultured representative of the Rhabdochlamydiaceae family cannot grow at 37 °C and is quickly inactivated at this temperature, and that this adaptation can in turn restrict their host range.

Interactions Screenings Unearth Potential New Divisome Components in the Chlamydia-Related Bacterium, Waddlia chondrophila

New insights are brought to the composition of the chlamydial divisome and links between protein secretion, degradation, iron homeostasis, and chlamYDial division are pointed to.

A predation assay using amoebae to screen for virulence factors unearthed the first W. chondrophila inclusion membrane protein

An original screening approach that combines a cosmid library with an assay monitoring resistance to predation by phagocytic amoebae allowed the identification of 28 candidate virulence proteins, including Wimp1, the first identified inclusion membrane protein of W. chondrophila.

Eukaryotic Cell Permeabilisation to Identify New Putative Chlamydial Type III Secretion System Effectors Secreted within Host Cell Cytoplasm

13 putative effectors secreted by C. trachomatis and W. chondrophila T3SS effectors were identified and demonstrated to be early/mid-cycle effectors and a novel C.trachomati class II chaperone was identified.

Simkania negevensis may produce long-lasting infections in human pneumocytes and endometrial cells

This work suggests that S. negevensis infection is associated with few cytopathic effects and might persist for a prolonged time in infected cells, suggesting a potential implication in human diseases, and harbors growth characteristics that differ from other known Chlamydiales.

Regulatory (pan-)genome of an obligate intracellular pathogen in the PVC superphylum

The ChIP-Seq analysis with intracellular bacteria not only reveals that global TF regulation is maintained in the reduced regulatory genomes of Chlamydiae, but also predicts that master TFs interpret genomic information in the obligate intrACEllular α-proteobacteria, including the rickettsiae, from which modern day mitochondria evolved.

Permissivity of fish cell lines to three Chlamydia-related bacteria: Waddlia chondrophila, Estrella lausannensis and Parachlamydia acanthamoebae.

Given its high infectivity and cytopathic effect towards fish cell lines, W. chondrophila represents the most interesting Chlamydia-related bacteria to be used to develop an in vivo model of epitheliocystis disease in fishes.

Trafficking of Estrella lausannensis in human macrophages.

It is hypothesized that E. lausannensis has a restricted growth in human macrophages, due to its reduced capacity to control programmed cell death, compared to other members of the Chlamydiales order.

Crescent Bodies of Parachlamydia acanthamoeba and Its Life Cycle within Acanthamoeba polyphaga: an Electron Micrograph Study

This electron micrograph study revealed another infective developmental stage, the crescent body, and provided quantitative analysis of the life cycle of P. acanthamoeba within A. polyphaga.

The Waddlia Genome: A Window into Chlamydial Biology

Enhanced metabolic capability for the synthesis of nucleotides, amino acids, lipids and other co-factors suggests that the common ancestor of the modern Chlamydiales may have been less dependent on their eukaryotic host.

Free-living Amoebae May Serve as Hosts for the Chlamydia-like Bacterium Waddlia chondrophila Isolated from an Aborted Bovine Foetus

The potential of 21 different species of free-living amoebas to serve as hosts of a newly found bacterium, Waddlia chondrophila, found in Rheinstetten, Germany was examined, finding that Hartmannella-adapted Waddia exhibited a broader host range when compared to the BGM cell isolate.

OmpA family proteins and Pmp-like autotransporter: new adhesins of Waddlia chondrophila.

It is hypothesized that the large diversity of the OmpA protein family is linked to the wide host range of these bacteria that are able to enter and multiply in various host cells ranging from protozoa to mammalian and fish cells.

Antibiotic susceptibility of Estrella lausannensis, a potential emerging pathogen.

Importance of amoebae as a tool to isolate amoeba-resisting microorganisms and for their ecology and evolution: the Chlamydia paradigm.

It is suggested that the ability to multiply in protozoa does not strictly correlate with pathogenicity and that the able to replicate in multiple and diverse eukaryotic cells as an indirect marker of virulence towards mammals should be used to try to discover new pathogenic bacterial species.

Host range of obligate intracellular bacterium Parachlamydia acanthamoebae

The growth of P. acanthamoebae Bn9 in protozoa and mammalian cells indicated that the host range of the bacteria is limited, but not in the other cell types.
