Parachlamydia acanthamoebae are bacterium that fall into the category of host-associated microorganisms.[2] This bacterium lives within free-living amoebae that are an intricate part of their reproduction.[2] Originally named Candidatus Parachlamydia acanthamoebae, its current scientific name was introduced shortly after.[2] This species has shown to have over eighty percent 16S rRNA gene sequencing identity with the class Chlamydiia.[3] Parachlamydia acanthamoebae has the same family as the genus Neochlamydia with which it shares many similarities.[2][3]
