An NlpC/P60 protein catalyzes a key step in peptidoglycan recycling at the intersection of energy recovery, cell division and immune evasion in the intracellular pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis

This study identifies an NlpC/P60 peptidase in Chlamydia trachomatis that recycles peptidoglycan to support cell division, energy recovery, and immune evasion.

Temperature affects the host range of Rhabdochlamydia porcellionis and the infectivity of Waddlia chondrophila and Chlamydia trachomatis elementary bodies

This study shows that Rhabdochlamydia porcellionis cannot grow at 37°C and is inactivated at this temperature, while elementary bodies of Chlamydia trachomatis and Waddlia chondrophila also lose infectivity faster at 37°C than at room temperature.

Evaluation of the rapidBACpro(R) II kit for the rapid identification of microorganisms directly from blood cultures using MALDI-TOF MS

This study evaluates the rapidBACpro(R) II kit for identifying microorganisms from blood cultures using MALDI-TOF MS, finding high species-level accuracy, especially for Gram-positive bacteria.

Substitution of nucleotide-sugar by trehalose-dependent glycogen synthesis pathways in Chlamydiales underlines an unusual requirement for storage polysaccharides within obligate intracellular bacteria

This study identifies a unique glycogen synthesis pathway in Chlamydiales using trehalose instead of ADP-Glucose, highlighting its role in survival and infectivity.

Nested species distribution models of Chlamydiales in tick host Ixodes ricinus in Switzerland

The paper models the spatial distribution of ticks and Chlamydiales bacteria in Switzerland from 2009 to 2018, identifying environmental factors and showing an expansion of suitable habitats.
