Abstract
*This article is free to read on the publisher's website*\ud \ud ...Shortly after Moulder (79) definitively reported the bacterial nature of chlamydiae in 1966, the genus Chlamydia was established (86) and divided into two species, Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia psittaci (85). Chlamydia pneumoniae (42) and Chlamydia pecorum (34), formerly known as strains of C. psittaci, were designated as distinct species in 1989 and 1992, respectively. More recently, a new taxonomy was proposed that increases the number of species in the family Chlamydiaceae to nine and groups these species into two genera (31). However, this review will not use the emended taxonomy, since much debate continues on the issue (106). ..Keywords
