A diagram of the old versus the "new" classification at 1999
Karin Everett's explanation of the "new" classification,
1999
Dr Everett's
new article on chlamydial
taxonomy March 2008
The only family we know much about
Chlamydia trachomatis and its relatives
An increasingly important genus
Parachlamydia,
Neochlamydia Protochlamydia by
Matthias Horn
Important first sequence for an environmental chlamydia
Waddlia chondrophila and Waddlia malayensis
Simkania negevensis etc
Simkaniaceae
in white flies
The proposed family Criblamydiaceae
Rhabdochlamydia, C. isopodii etc
Epitheliocystis in fish
classic presentation by Meijer & Ossewaarde
James Moulder's classic, left just as he
wrote it
Insoluble problems
The time scale
The original ancestor and first host
Endosymbiotes are more frequent
Common features of the Chlamydiales
Parachlamydia appear most divergent
Summary
Focusing on the one family about which we know most
Clues from the genome sequences
Non random loss of genes in intracellular bacteria
Molecular tinkering
Are chlamydiae social organisms?
Speciation
Persistence and evolution
The Chlamydiaceae are unique among bacteria
ATP transport in evolution
Chlamydiaceae are uniquely limited
The basis of sulfonamide sensitivity
Probably crucial to chlamydiae
General conclusions
