Restriction endonuclease analysis of DNA from two isolates of Chlamydia psittaci obtained from human abortions

Together, clinical, epidemiological, and serological studies have provided considerable evidence that Chlamydia psittaci of ovine origin may infect and cause abortion in pregnant women. In 1985 the first recovery of C. psittaci from placental and fetal tissues was reported. The isolate was shown to...

Zusammenfassung:	Together, clinical, epidemiological, and serological studies have provided considerable evidence that Chlamydia psittaci of ovine origin may infect and cause abortion in pregnant women. In 1985 the first recovery of C. psittaci from placental and fetal tissues was reported. The isolate was shown to have serological and cultural properties similar to ovine abortion strains but could not unequivocally be shown to be of ovine origin.
