Abstract
family, cannot grow at 37°C and is quickly inactivated at this temperature. A similar temperature sensitivity was also observed for elementary bodies of chlamydial species adapted to mammals. Our work demonstrates that chlamydiae adapt to the temperature of their reservoir, making a jump between species with different body temperatures unlikely.
