A recent report from Saratov State University in Russia discusses the potential of a killed whole cell veterinary vaccine candidate for chlamydia infection. The study focuses on the AMK-16 strain of Chlamydia psittaci, which has shown a high level of protection in immunized mice and pregnant rabbits. The researchers conducted whole-genome sequencing and molecular analysis of the strain, finding that it clustered with C. psittaci strains and possessed an additional chromosome region with higher homology to C. abortus. The AMK-16 strain elicited a specific immune response in mice, making it a promising candidate for a chlamydiosis vaccine in livestock. [Extracted from the article] |
