Although the list compiled by these authors contained over 1000 ORFs, which were present in Protochlamydia but were absent in other Chlamydiales, their study did not examine which of these proteins were also present in other bacterial phyla. [doi.org]

Such studies are now required to investigate whether the present findings reflect the position in the lower respiratory tract. A possible confounding factor in the present study is the use of inhaled steroids by asthmatic participants. [erj.ersjournals.com]

According to the CDC, the varied clinical presentation and lack of standardization for diagnostic methods available present unique challenges for accurately identifying C. pneumoniae cases and appropriately treating patients. [arupconsult.com]
