Description
Horn (2015): Pleomorphic or elongated, nonmotile, obligate intracellular bacteria, up to 2 μm in length. Cells show a developmental cycle with morphologically distinct stages and thrive inside a host vacuole. Organisms were found within gill lesions of fish and are differentiated from all other chlamydiae by the morphology of the proposed elementary bodies, which show a characteristic head-and-tail form. Members have not yet been obtained in cell culture.
