Taxonomy of the Chlamydiae: Reasons for Classifying Organisms of the Genus Chlamydia, Family Chlamydiaceae, in a Separate Order, Chlamydiales ord. nov. STORZ, JOHANNES and PAGE, LESLIE A.,, 21, 332-334 (1971), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-21-4-332, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= It is proposed that the family Chlamydiaceae, which contains only one recognized genus, Chlamydia, be placed in a new order, Chlamydiales, coordinate with Rickettsiales Buchanan and Buchanan 1938. The principal argument for this change is that chlamydiae multiply by a developmental cycle that is unique among all other forms of bacteria., language=, type=
