Organism Chlamydia pneumoniae
Protein names Chlamydia pneumoniae
Structure and strains Chlamydia pneumoniae is a species of Chlamydia, an obligate intracellular bacterium that infects humans and is a major cause of pneumonia. It was known as the Taiwan acute respiratory agent (TWAR) from the names of the two original isolates Taiwan (TW-183) and an acute respiratory isolate designated AR-39. Briefly, it was known as Chlamydophila pneumoniae, and that name is used as an alternate in some sources. In some cases, to avoid confusion, both names are given.
Detection and diagnosis Diagnosis of a Chlamydia pneumoniae infection is usually based on serological analysis by detection of specific serum antibodies. In the past, the microimmunofluorescence (MIF) test has been used as a reference method. However, it is increasingly replaced by species-specific ELISA tests, which allow for better standardization and automation. Seroprevalence rates rise rapidly in preschool age and reaches >50% after adolescence. Later on in life, the prevalence of C. pneumoniae increases even further due to frequently reoccurring infections and due to its propensity to lead to chronic disease. Beyond 65 years of age, seroprevalence may reach 70-100%. Seroprevalence rates for IgA are barely lower (approximately 60-70%) than for IgG
