Difficulty in the Clinical Diagnosis of Tularemia: Highlighting the Importance of a Physical Exam
Case Reports in Pediatrics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 We report an 18‐month‐old male who presented with fever and nonspecific symptoms. He was evaluated for multiple differential diagnoses including Kawasaki disease and JIA and received treatment for them. After he was readmitted, tularemia was considered based on the physical exam finding of an ulcer on the scalp and enlarged lymph nodes.

Reassessment of the genetic basis of natural rifampin resistance in the genus Rickettsia
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 4, August 2024.Contrary to previous studies, the natural resistance of Rickettsia, a genus of intracellular bacteria, to the antibiotic rifampin is not solely due to the Leu‐973 residue in the RNA polymerase β subunit. Abstract Rickettsia, a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria, includes species that cause significant human diseases.
