Abstract

A third species, Chlamydia pneumoniae, is proposed for the genus Chlamydia. This bacterium is a human respiratory pathogen, which has been referred to as the TWAR strain of Chlamydia. Species identification is based on ultrastructural differences in the elementary bodies, deoxyribonucleic acid analysis, and serology.
