Chlamydophila abortus

Fold this section I. General Information
1. NCBI Taxonomy ID:
83555
2. Disease:
Abortion and fetal death
3. Introduction
Chlamydophila abortus is a species in Chlamydiae that causes abortion and fetal death in mammals, including humans. Chlamydophila abortus was previously classified as Chlamydia psittaci along with all Chlamydiae except Chlamydia trachomatis. This was based on a lack of evident glycogen production and on resistance to the antibiotic sulfadiazine. In 1999 C. psittaci and C. abortus were recognized as distinct species based on differences of pathogenicity and DNA–DNA reassociation. C. abortus is endemic among ruminants and has been associated with abortion in a horse, a rabbit, guinea pigs, mice, pigs and humans. Infected females shed bacteria near the time of ovulation, so C. abortus is transmitted orally and sexually among mammals. All C. abortus strains were isolated or PCR-amplified from placenta or fetal organs after spontaneous abortion. C. abortus infection generally remains inapparent until an animal aborts late in gestation or gives birth to a weak or dead foetus (Wiki: Chlamydophila abortus).
4. Host Ranges and Animal Models
C. abortus is endemic among ruminants and has been associated with abortion in a horse, a rabbit, guinea pigs, mice, pigs and humans (Wiki: Chlamydophila abortus).

  • Molecule Role: Protective antigen
  • Molecule Role Annotation: Genetic immunization was used to functionally test the genes of C. abortus as vaccines in a mouse challenge system. CP #5 (Transglycolase/transpeptidase, CAB049 putative penicillin-binding protein) was significantly more protective than the genes encoding fewer than 50 amino acids (p-value of less than 0.05 when comparing lung weights). The chlamydial loads generally tracked with protection and the most protective genes were significantly lower than in unvaccinated controls (p < 0.05 in the Mann–Whitney U-test for genes CP #1, 2, 4–7, 9, 10) (Stemke-Hale et al., 2005).

  • Molecule Role: Protective antigen
  • Molecule Role Annotation: Genetic immunization was used to functionally test the genes of C. abortus as vaccines in a mouse challenge system. Protective clone CP #4 (OMP90A, pomp90A) was diluted 1/2000 in a non-protective sublibrary pool of clones. This CP #4-spiked sublibrary conferred protection. Five clones were significantly more protective than the genes encoding fewer than 50 amino acids (CP #1–5 and 7, p-value of less than 0.05 when comparing lung weights). (Stemke-Hale et al., 2005).
