Notes:
❗ Chlamydophilapneumoniae is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Chlamydophila.

🧍 According to Bartlett et al. (2022), this species is an established human pathogen.Publication:
Bartlett A, Padfield D, Lear L, Bendall R, Vos M. A comprehensive list of bacterial pathogens infecting humans. Microbiology 2022; 168:0.
🧍 Based on genetic and biological differences, Everett et al. 1999 propose three biovars within Chlamydophila pneumoniae: Chlamydophila pneumoniae biovar TWAR (reference strain: TW-183), Chlamydophila pneumoniae biovar Koala (reference strain: LPCon), and Chlamydophila pneumoniae biovar Equine (reference strain: N16). — In the paper by Everett et al. 1999, the type strain is erroneously cited as ATCC VR 2282 (without dash). — Tang J.
