摘要：

Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria, parasites of a variety of eukaryotes ranging from amoebae to humans. Among them, the family Parachlamydiaceae comprises endosymbionts of amoebae, mainly Acanthamoeba, currently investigated as emerging pathogens of humans and other vertebrates. 16S rDNA-based PCR culture-independent studies in environmental samples have demonstrated the presence of Chlamydiales in various types of non-medical habitats. Here we reviewed the biology of the Parachlamydiaceae, and more particularly those studies reporting molecular evidences for their presence in the environment, with a re-analysis of the 16S rDNA phylotypes.
