First Evidence of Spillover of Rocahepevirus ratti Into Humans in Thailand

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Rocahepevirus ratti (hepatitis E virus [HEV]‐C), originally discovered in rats in 2010, has been recently linked to hepatitis in humans. Although rare and typically detected in the immunocompromised, much like Paslahepevirus balayani (HEV‐A), it can manifest as acute or persistent hepatitis. In a next‐generation sequencing (NGS)‐based screen for causes

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.
