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.
