What are chlamydiae?
Chlamydiae are a phylum of bacteria that are obligate intracellular parasites. One of these is Chlamydia trachomatis, which causes the STD chlamydia (See related question "What is chlamydia?" for information on the STD.) Bacteria in the chlamydia family that causes disease include C. trachomatis, C. psittaci, and C. pneumonia. There are other chlamdyia species that cause diseases in other animals, as well as species that cause no illness.
What is the difference between a virus and a rickettsia?
For many years, rickettsiae and chlamydiae were thought to be viruses because they are very small and are intracellular parasites. They are now known to be bacteria because they possess both DNA and RNA, have cell walls similar to those found in gram-negative bacteria, divide by binary fission, and are susceptible to antibiotics that produce an effect in most bacteria. therefor it is A BACTERIA AND NOT A VIRUS. by God Omenmayor....the sustainer
