Conserved indels in essential proteins that are distinctive characteristics of Chlamydiales and provide novel means for their identification
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
All known chlamydiae are either proven human or animal pathogens or possess such potential. Due to increasing reports of chlamydiae diversity in the environment, it is important to develop reliable means for identifying and characterizing Chlamydiales species. The identification of environmental chlamydiae at present relies on their branching pattern in 16S rRNA trees, as well as 16S/23S consensus motifs which...
