Phylogenetic trees based on partial sequences of the 16S and the 23S rRNA genes that show the relationships of the sequences obtained in this study and publicly available sequences of Chlamydia species and selected published sequences found in bats reflecting the phylogenetic relationship between known Chlamydia species based on nine genes [24]. a Phylogeny of chlamydial 16S rRNA gene, 284 bp covering V1 – V2, including all novel sequences and illustrating that they fall together within a novel clade. b Phylogeny of chlamydial 16S rRNA gene, 200 bp covering V3, relating available novel sequences to those previously found in bat samples and illustrating that these samples are closely related to previous bat samples over this region. c. Phylogeny of chlamydial 23S rRNA gene, 530 bp, relating available novel sequences to those previously found in bat samples and illustrating differences between the novel samples and previous bat samples across this region. Bat samples were selected from those published in Hokynar et al. [9] to reflect closely related samples and outgroup “Rhabdochlamydiaceae-like” samples. Bootstraps of 100 replicates are shown on key branches. Scale bar shows number of substitutions per site. Samples from this study are shown in bold
