Although most pathogenic rickettsiae are obligate intracellular parasites, it is clear that they are bacteria. As such, form and function in rickettsiae are closely similar to form and function found in their free-living counterparts. This review of rickettsiae as bacteria portrays the broad similarities of rickettsiae and free-living bacteria, as well

The neglected challenge: Vaccination against rickettsiae.
Over the last decades, rickettsioses are emerging worldwide. These diseases are caused by intracellular bacteria. Although rickettsioses can be treated with antibiotics, a vaccine against rickettsiae is highly desired for several reasons.

Curved Tails in Polymerization-Based Bacterial Motility
The curved actin ``comet-tail'' of the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is a visually striking signature of actin polymerization-based motility. Similar actin tails are associated with Shigella flexneri, spotted-fever Rickettsiae, the Vaccinia virus, and

Immunoproteomic profiling of Rickettsia parkeri and Rickettsia amblyommii
Rickettsia parkeri is an Amblyomma-associated, spotted fever group Rickettsia species that causes an eschar-associated, febrile illness in multiple countries throughout the Western Hemisphere. Many other rickettsial species of known or uncertain pathogenicity have been detected in Amblyomma spp.

The Effects of X-rays and Beta Rays (Tritium) on the Growth of \u3cem\u3eRickettsia mooseri\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3eRickettsia akari\u3c/em\u3e in Embryonate Eggs [PDF]
The growth of Rickettsia mooseri was accelerated and quantitatively increased in embryonate eggs containing tritium oxide at levels of 180, 90, and 45 mc./egg during the growth period.

1, a previously undescribed paralog from autotransporter protein-encoding genes in species [PDF]
Background Among the 17 genes encoding autotransporter proteins of the "surface cell antigen" (sca) family in the currently sequenced Rickettsia genomes, ompA, sca5 (ompB) and sca4 (gene D), have been extensively used for identification and phylogenetic ...
