In vitro susceptibilities of Rickettsia rickettsii and Rickettsia conorii to roxithromycin and pristinamycin [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1989
In vitro susceptibilities of Rickettsia rickettsii and Rickettsia conorii to roxithromycin, pristinamycin, and the pristinamycin compounds, P1 and P2, were determined by a dye uptake assay and a plaque assay. The MICs were 1 microgram/ml for roxithromycin, 2 micrograms/ml for pristinamycin, greater than 256 micrograms/ml for P1, and 2 micrograms/ml for

Investigation of Anti‐IgG Antibody Responses to the 17‐kDa Outer Membrane Protein of Rickettsia japonica in Individuals From a High‐Risk Area for Japanese Spotted Fever

Experimental Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the seroprevalence and persistence of IgG antibodies against Rickettsia japonica's outer membrane protein (Omp) using a recombinant 17‐kDa antigen and Western blot analysis in residents of Minamiise, Japan—a high‐incidence Japanese spotted fever (JSF) area—and in individuals from non‐endemic regions.

In vitro guinea pig leukocyte reactions to Rickettsia rickettsii [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1977
The presence of cell-mediated immunity in Rocky Mountain spotted fever-infected guinea pigs was determined by two in vitro assays: whole blood lymphocyte transformation (LT) and macrophage migration inhibition. Increased LT was detected as early as 1 week in guinea pigs infected with Rickettsia rickettsii and treated with oxytetracycline and was ...

Immunological Reviews, Volume 332, Issue 1, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The primary features of the alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS) are (i) The IgE ab that are causally related to anaphylaxis with infusions of Cetuximab are specific for galactose alpha‐1,3‐galactose. (ii) In the USA, this IgE ab is induced by bites of the tick Amblyomma americanum. (iii) The anaphylactic reactions to food derived from non‐primate mammals
