This study assesses the biosecurity risk of footwear as a fomite for transmitting infectious agents to mice, finding that shoe debris and contact media did not cause illness in mice despite containing non-enzootic agents.

This study shows that C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ, and J:ARC(S) mice develop persistent subclinical Chlamydia muridarum infections with immune responses, suggesting the need to exclude Cm from mouse colonies used in GI disease research.

This study evaluates antibiotic efficacy against Chlamydia muridarum in mice, finding that immunocompetent mice can be cleared with TMS, while immunodeficient mice remain infected.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of husbandry practices and cage sanitization in preventing intercage transmission of Chlamydia muridarum in mice, finding no persistent contamination after proper cleaning.
