Genome sequences of C. psittaci strains from ducks and pigeons reveal distinct ompA genotypes, indicating their zoonotic potential.
Chlamydia psittaci is an important zoonotic pathogen that can transmit from avian to human. Herein, we report complete genome sequences of two C. psittaci strains isolated from ducks and pigeons in China. The duck strain CPS-QD/LS was identified as ompA genotype A, while the pigeon strain CPS-BY/JY was identified as genotype B.
