Identifying Novel Inhibitors of RpFabG in Typhus-inducing Rickettsia prowazekii [PDF]

, 2019
Epidemic typhus is a rickettsial disease that is contracted via ticks and lice found on the flying squirrel. The disease is caused by Rickettsia prowazekii, an intracellular, gram-negative coccobacillus.

Torix Rickettsia are widespread in arthropods and reflect a neglected symbiosis

GigaScience, 2020
Background Rickettsia are intracellular bacteria best known as the causative agents of human and animal diseases. Although these medically important Rickettsia are often transmitted via haematophagous arthropods, other Rickettsia, such as those in the ...

Genome sequence-based criteria for demarcation and definition of species in the genus Rickettsia.

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020
Over recent years, genomic information has increasingly been used for prokaryotic species definition and classification. Genome sequence-based alternatives to the gold standard DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) relatedness have been developed, notably average ...

Phylogenies of atpD and recA support the small subunit rRNA-based classification of rhizobia [PDF]

, 2001
The current classification of the rhizobia (root-nodule symbionts) assigns them to six genera. It is strongly influenced by the small subunit (16S, SSU) rRNA molecular phylogeny, but such single-gene phylogenies may not reflect the evolution of the ...

New Real-Time PCRs to Differentiate Rickettsia spp. and Rickettsia conorii

Molecules, 2020
Rickettsia species are an important cause of emerging infectious diseases in people and animals, and rickettsiosis is one of the oldest known vector-borne diseases. Laboratory diagnosis of Rickettsia is complex and time-consuming. This study was aimed at
