A Rickettsia Case Caused by Rickettsia conorii
Mikrobiyoloji Bulteni, 2018 Rickettsia species are gram-negative intracellular, small pleomorphic coccobacilli in the Rickettsiaceae family. This genus is serologically and genotypically divided into four groups as spotted fever group, typhus group, Rickettsia belli and Rickettsia canadensis. Rickettsia conorii (R.conorii subsp. conorii) in the spotted fever group was reported to

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
