Chlamydien

  • Chapter
Die Infektiologie

Zusammenfassung

Chlamydien sind obligat intrazelluläre, unbewegliche gramnegative Bakterien. Sie gehören einer eigenen Ordnung, den Chlamydiales, und innerhalb dieser Ordnung der Familie Chlamydiaceae an. Nach dem Vorschlag von Everett et al. (1999) werden anhand von 16S- und 23S-RNA-Analysen die 5 Genera Chlamydia, Chlamydophila, Parachlamydia, Simkania und Waddlia unterschieden ( vgl.Tabelle 26-1 ). Diese Nomenklatur wird von Chlamydologen aus populationsgenetischen Gründen nicht akzeptiert. Deshalb wird es weiterhin die Bezeichnungen Chlamydia psittaci und Chlamydia pneumoniae geben (Schachter et al. 2001)
