Classification of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi in a New Genus, Orientia gen. nov., as Orientia tsutsugamushi comb. nov. [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1995 Recent studies of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi have demonstrated clearly the phenotypic and genotypic differences between this microorganism and other species belonging to the genus Rickettsia. Therefore, classification of R. tsutsugamushi in a new genus, Orientia gen. nov., is proposed.

Intrinsic fluoroquinolone resistance in Orientia tsutsugamushi
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2010 Scrub typhus is a public health concern for a population of over a billion humans, with an estimated incidence of one million cases/year in endemic areas. Although doxycycline remains the standard therapy, fluoroquinolones have been used successfully in a few patients.

Orientia and Rickettsia: different flowers from the same garden [PDF]
, 2023 Recent discoveries of basal extracellular Rickettsiales have illuminated divergent evolutionary paths to host dependency in later-evolving lineages. Family Rickettsiaceae, primarily comprised of numerous protist- and invertebrate-associated species, also

Clinical deterioration in community acquired infections associated with lymphocyte upsurge in immunocompetent hosts [PDF]
, 2004 Clinical deterioration during the course of community-acquired infections can occur as a result of an exaggerated immune response of the host towards the inciting pathogens, leading to immune-mediated tissue damage.

Scrub Typhus in a New Born [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017 Scrub typhus is an acute febrile mite-born rickettsial infection caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (formely called Rickettsia tsutsugamushi). This infection is very uncommon in neonates.

Evidence of Rickettsia and Orientia Infections Among Abattoir Workers in Djibouti. [PDF]
, 2016 Of 49 workers at a Djiboutian abattoir, eight (16%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 9-29) were seropositive against spotted fever group rickettsiae (SFGR), two (4%, 95% CI: 1-14) against typhus group rickettsiae, and three (6%, 95% CI: 2-17) against ...

Isolation of a New Orientia tsutsugamushi Serotype [PDF]
Microbiology and Immunology, 1997 AbstractOrientia tsutsugamushi, the etiological agent of scrub typhus, is an antigenically diverse organism and many serologically distinct strains have been identified. The 56 kDa protein of O. tsutsugamushi, a major protein in the outer membrane, has been thought to be responsible for this antigenic variability. A strain of O.

Rapid, simple, and sensitive detection of the ompB gene of spotted fever group rickettsiae by loop-mediated isothermal amplification [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Spotted fever caused spotted fever group rickettsiae (SFGR) is prevalent throughout China. In this study, we describe a rapid, simple, and sensitive loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay targeting the ompB gene of spotted fever ...
