Chlamydophila abortus S26/3

Names Chlamydophila abortus S26/3
Accession numbers NC_004552
Background Gram-negative, obligate intracellular pathogen that is an important cause of late gestation abortions in ruminants and pigs. It can also cause acute zoonotic infections in humans: pregnant women who are exposed to infected animals are at risk of abortion and life-threatening illness. The strain sequenced, S26/3, is a low-passage strain that was isolated in Scotland in 1979 from a vaccinated ewe that aborted. (EBI Integr8)
