Description
The Chlamydia genus includes 17 species and 4 candidate species, comprising a
group of closely related obligate intracellular bacteria that affect many animals. While each Chlamydia
species has at least one primary host, most can infect multiple species. The clinical importance
of infection varies widely, from asymptomatic cases to fatal diseases in both animals and humans.
Ongoing discoveries of new species and advances in sequencing technologies continuously reshape
the classification of Chlamydia, necessitating regular updates. This review aims to provide an accessible
overview of chlamydial infections, summarising the key characteristics of Chlamydia species and the
implications of their infections.
