	Abstract

In Chlamydiaceae, the nucleotide sequence between the 5S rRNA gene and the gene for subunit F of the Na(+)-translocating NADH-quinone reductase (nqrF or dmpP) has variable length and gene content. We analyzed this site in 45 Chlamydiaceae strains having diverse geographical and pathological origins and belonging to all nine species.
