In Argentina, the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of Chlamydia psittaciinfections are still not sufficiently known. A total of 846 respiratory and 10 ocular samples from patients with suspected human psittacosis were tested for C. psittacifrom January 2010 to March 2015. Four samples of birds related to these patients were also studied. Forty-eight samples were positive for C. psittaciby a nested PCR. The molecular characterization of twelve C. psittaciPCR-positive samples received in the National Reference Laboratory INEI-ANLIS “Dr. Carlos G. Malbrán”, Buenos Aires, Argentina was performed. Eight positive samples from humans and four from birds were genotyped by ompAgene sequencing. C. psittacigenotype A was found in all human samples and in the related birds. This report contributes to our increasing knowledge of the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of C. psittacito conduct effective surveillance of its zoonotic infections. |
