Chlamydia pecorum, also known as Chlamydophila pecorum[1][2] is a species of Chlamydiaceae that originated from ruminants, such as cattle, sheep and goats.[3] It has also infected koalas and swine.[4] C. pecorum strains are serologically and pathogenically diverse.[5]

In the koalas, C. pecorum causes infections in the reproductive systems and urinary tract, as well as pneumonia, infertility, and death.[6] It is considered one of the most important infectious diseases that currently plagues koalas.[7][8][9] C.pecorum is the most common chlamydial species to infect koalas and is the most pathogenic.[10] In other animals, C. pecorum has been associated with abortion, conjunctivitis, encephalomyelitis, enteritis, arthritis, and polyarthritis.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
