In VitroActivity of Tigecycline AgainstOrientia tsutsugamushi
Yonsei Medical Journal, 2016 Scrub typhus is a zoonosis caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (O. tsutsugamushi) occurring mainly in autumn in Korea. The need of new antibiotics has arisen with a report on strains resistant to antibiotics and chronic infection. This study aims to identify susceptibility of tigecycline in-vitro as a new therapeutic option for O.

Acute encephalitis syndrome caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi
Health Technology, 2019 Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) secondary to scrub typhus infection is rarely seen clinically. A 50-year-old man was brought to our emergency department (ED) with weakness, disorientation, and bizarre behavior. An episode of generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizure occurred with urine and stool incontinence, and he became unresponsive.

Genetic diversity of Orientia tsutsugamushi strains from patients in north India
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019 Background: Scrub typhus has emerged as a major cause of acute febrile illness in India in recent years. The causative agent, Orientia tsutsugamushi has more than 20 prototype strains due to a variable 56-kDa outer membrane protein. It is crucial to know

Microparasite species richness in rodents is higher at lower latitudes and is associated with reduced litter size [PDF]
, 2011 Parasite species loads are expected to be higher in the tropics and higher parasite species richness to have cumulative effects on host physiology or demography. Despite being regularly assumed or predicted, empirical evidence on specieslatitude patterns

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.
