Identification of Outer Membrane Vesicles Derived fromOrientia tsutsugamushi
Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2015 Orientia tsutsugamushi, a causative pathogen of Scrub typhus, is a gram-negative intracellular bacterium. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are produced from the membrane of bacteria and play many roles related to the survival of the pathogen. However, there have been no reports confirming whether O. tsutsugamushi indeed produce OMVs. O.
