Bactericidal Activity of Octenidine to Various Genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi, Sensu Lato Spirochetes in Vitro and in Vivo [PDF]
Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2017 The aim of our studies was to invent a reliable method for detection of the bactericidal activity of disinfectants against Borrelia burgdorferi in suspension (in vitro) and in cell line cultures (in vivo). In the suspension method, 0.01% octenidine at 20&

A Case of Illness Following a Bite by a Male Lone Star Tick (<i>Amblyomma americanum</i> Linnaeus) Infected With <i>Ehrlichia</i> sp. and <i>Rickettsia amblyommatis</i> in Connecticut, United States. [PDF]
Clin Case RepA case of local lymphadenopathy and a flu‐like illness in a man, following a bite by a male lone star tick infected with Ehrlichia sp. and Rickettsia amblyommatis. ABSTRACT The lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum Linnaeus) is a species commonly found in the southeastern U.S., but in recent years its populations have expanded northward, resulting in an

Tick-Borne Rickettsioses in the Iberian Peninsula
Pathogens, 2022 Tick-borne rickettsioses (TBR) are caused by obligate, intracellular bacteria of the spotted-fever group (SFG) of the genus Rickettsia (Order Rickettsiales), transmitted by hard ticks.

A patatin-like phospholipase mediates Rickettsia parkeri escape from host membranes
Nature Communications, 2021 Rickettsia species of the spotted fever group are arthropod-borne obligate intracellular bacteria that can cause mild to severe human disease. These bacteria invade host cells, replicate in the cell cytosol, and spread from cell to cell.

‘Rickettsia hulinii’ belongs to the Rickettsia heilongjiangensis species [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 A Rickettsia species has long been defined as a distinct serotype using mouse serotyping. However, owing to a lack of reproducibility and interlaboratory comparability of this method, new taxonomic guidelines, based on multigene amplification and sequencing, have been developed and validated by an international panel of rickettsiology experts [1]. This
