Key Points

The complete genomes of two Chlamydia psittaci strains demonstrate significant genetic variation between infections in birds.
Strain CPS-QD/LS from ducks shows ompA genotype A, while strain CPS-BY/JY from pigeons exhibits genotype B, indicating strain diversity.
This project reports on the isolation and genetic characterization of zoonotic pathogens from avian sources to better understand transmission dynamics.
Findings highlight the potential risk of C. psittaci transmission from birds to humans, underscoring the importance of monitoring these pathogens.

Abstract

ABSTRACT 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.
