Chlamydia is a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria in the family Chlamydiaceae, order Chlamydiales, class and phylum Chlamydiae.

The three species in this genus are Chlamydia trachomatis (affects only humans), MChlamydia suis (affects only swine), and Chlamydia muridarum (affects only mice and hamsters).[1]
