Video Summary
Chlamydia pneumonia (also known as chlamydophila pneumoniae) is a round-shaped non-motile bacteria, and an obligate intracellular pathogen because they live inside host cells to survive. Chlamydia pneumoniae is known to cause pneumonia, as its name suggests, but it has also been associated with atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and asthma exacerbations. The symptoms of Chlamydia pneumoniae pneumonia are usually mild fever, sore throat, and dry cough.
