RickA Expression Is Not Sufficient to Promote Actin-Based Motility of Rickettsia raoultii [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: Rickettsia raoultii is a novel Rickettsia species recently isolated from Dermacentor ticks and classified within the spotted fever group (SFG). The inability of R. raoultii to spread within L929 cells suggests that this bacterium is unable to
