| Pathogen description: | |
| Chlamydias are gram-negative bacteria that parasitize inside the susceptible cells due their disability to synthesise ATP. Genus Chlamydia covers four known species: C. trachomatis, C. psittaci, C. pecorum and C. pneumoniae when C. psittaci and C. pecorum primary belongs to animal parasites.
