yes of course, I pulled down these words in google, there are a lot of articles and other info. but somethings are ommited anyway. for example: in articles, authors did not say from what company chlamidia pneumoniae was obtain?
and this is only one example, so therefore i am seeking people who work with this pathogen.

There are many solutions depending on where you live:
- order from a national collection (depends on where you live) like the ATCC in the US or the "Collection de l'institut Pasteur" in France. There are more, and private companies also supply strains (see the ATCC for their local distributors for example).
- Directly contact the labs and kindly ask them for the strain you are interested in. Most journals now requires that published strains are made available to other scientists either directly or through collections (like the CIP and the ATCC above).

Of course in both cases a legitimate academic or professional address would be a prerequisite.
