TLDR
Comparative genome analysis involving the type strains of currently accepted Chlamydiaceae species and the designated type strains representing the two new clades confirmed that the latter could be classified into two different species as their average nucleotide identity (ANI) values were always below 94%, both with the closest relative species and between themselves.About:

Emendation of the family Chlamydiaceae: Proposal of a single genus, Chlamydia, to include all currently recognized species
Konrad Sachse,Patrik M. Bavoil,Bernhard Kaltenboeck,Richard S. Stephens,Cho-Chou Kuo,Ramon Rosselló-Móra,Matthias Horn +6 more
TL;DR: All 11 currently recognized Chlamydiaceae species are proposed in a single genus, the genus Chlamydia, because no easily recognizable phenotype such as host preference or tissue tropism is available that would support a subdivision.

Chlamydia psittaci: update on an underestimated zoonotic agent.
TL;DR: It is concluded that thorough analysis of the large number of whole-genome sequences already available will be essential to identify genetic markers of the species-specific features and trigger more in-depth studies in cellular and animal models to address such vital topics as treatment and vaccination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactobacilli Inactivate Chlamydia trachomatis through Lactic Acid but Not H2O2
TL;DR: Observations indicate lactobacilli inactivate chlamydiae primarily through maintaining acidity in a relatively hypoxic environment in the vaginal lumen with limited H2O2, which is consistent with the notion that women with higher vaginal pH are more prone to sexually transmitted C. trachomatis infection.

A Review on Chlamydial Diseases in Animals: Still a Challenge for Pathologists?
TL;DR: The historical background and the most important developments in the field of animal chlamydial research in the past 5 years with a special focus on pathology are summarized, the current nomenclature is summarized, critical thoughts about diagnostics are presented, and an update on chlamYDial infections in domesticated animals such as livestock, companion animals and birds are given.

RAxML-VI-HPC: maximum likelihood-based phylogenetic analyses with thousands of taxa and mixed models
TL;DR: UNLABELLED RAxML-VI-HPC (randomized axelerated maximum likelihood for high performance computing) is a sequential and parallel program for inference of large phylogenies with maximum likelihood (ML) that has been used to compute ML trees on two of the largest alignments to date.

tRNAscan-SE: a program for improved detection of transfer RNA genes in genomic sequence.
Todd M. Lowe,Sean R. Eddy +1 more
TL;DR: A program is described, tRNAscan-SE, which identifies 99-100% of transfer RNA genes in DNA sequence while giving less than one false positive per 15 gigabases.

Selection of Conserved Blocks from Multiple Alignments for Their Use in Phylogenetic Analysis
TL;DR: A computerized method is presented that reduces to a certain extent the necessity of manually editing multiple alignments, makes the automation of phylogenetic analysis of large data sets feasible, and facilitates the reproduction of the final alignment by other researchers.
