      • Grows like a virus (requires cell culture systems) but is a bacterium with RNA and DNA.
      • As intracellular organism-parasite, requires host cell for ATP/GTP.
      • Known to also cause disease in koalas, reptiles and amphibians.
    • Elementary body is metabolically inactive form, has rigid cell wall that permits survival outside cell [Fig]. Inside cell is seen as inclusion body.
