Clustered Cases of Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae Infection, France [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To the Editor: Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae, a member of the tick-borne spotted fever group (SFG) of rickettsia, was first isolated from Hyalomma asiaticum ticks in China (1). The first human case was described in France in 1996, and 7 new cases were described in 2005 (1). This rickettsiosis was named lymphangitis-associated rickettsiosis because

Reassessment of the genetic basis of natural rifampin resistance in the genus Rickettsia. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
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.
