Comparative ultrastructural study on the cell envelopes of Rickettsia prowazekii, Rickettsia rickettsii, and Rickettsia tsutsugamushi [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1978 Rickettsia tsutsugamushi differs from other rickettsiae in its cell envelope organization. The differences were made evident through a comparative study of the outer envelope of R. tsutsugamushi, R. prowazekii, and R. rickettsii by electron microscopy.

Development of a duplex real-time PCR for the detection of Rickettsia spp. and typhus group rickettsia in clinical samples. [PDF]
, 2011 Molecular diagnosis using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) may allow earlier diagnosis of rickettsiosis. We developed a duplex real-time PCR that amplifies (1) DNA of any rickettsial species and (2) DNA of both typhus group rickettsia, that is ...

Cluster of Sylvatic Epidemic Typhus Cases Associated with Flying Squirrels, 2004–2006
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 In February 2006, a diagnosis of sylvatic epidemic typhus in a counselor at a wilderness camp in Pennsylvania prompted a retrospective investigation. From January 2004 through January 2006, 3 more cases were identified.

Protein and RNA synthesis by isolated Rickettsia prowazekii [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1987 Purified host-cell-free Rickettsia prowazekii synthesized protein from leucine, lysine, or proline as radioactive precursor. Most, if not all, of the rickettsial proteins were synthesized. The specific activities of the newly synthesized proteins in the cytoplasmic fraction and in the envelope fraction were not significantly different, indicating that ...

Signature proteins that are distinctive of alpha proteobacteria [PDF]
, 2005 Background The alpha (α) proteobacteria, a very large and diverse group, are presently characterized solely on the basis of 16S rRNA trees, with no known molecular characteristic that is unique to this group.

Drug Design and Delivery for Intracellular Bacteria: Emerging Paradigms
Drug Development Research, Volume 86, Issue 8, December 2025.ABSTRACT Intracellular bacteria exploit host cell niches, such as lysosomes, phagosomes, cytosol, entire cells, and even erythrocytes, to evade immune clearance and escape conventional antibiotics. These environments pose numerous therapeutic challenges, including crossing host cell membranes, navigating endosomal trafficking, tolerating acidic and ...
