Abstract

Despite belonging to distinct classes, Coxiella burnetii , a Gammaproteobacteria , and Chlamydia species, of the class Chlamydiae , are important zoonotic pathogens with broad host range and the capacity to significantly impact both agricultural industries and public health. Animal infection with these organisms can have a range of health implications, including impacting reproductive potential, making these pathogens particularly problematic within agricultural settings and for endangered animals. However, identifying and characterizing the role of important virulence factors has been significantly hampered by the challenge of genetically manipulating obligate intracellular organisms. Type IV secretion system effector proteins have been implicated in mediating the “stealth” C. burnetii infection through manipulation of cell-autonomous innate immune signaling. Implementation of whole-genome sequencing to C. burnetii surveillance may provide new insight into circulating C. burnetii lineages and their danger to both animals and humans.
