Properties of quinoxaline oxide-resistant Rickettsia typhi.
Weiss, Emilio (Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, Md.) and Harry R. Dressler. Properties of quinoxaline oxide-resistant Rickettsia typhi. J. Bacteriol. 83:415-417. 1962.-An effort was made to apply to the Wilmington strain of Rickettsia typhi the observation that in certain strains of rickettsiae and viruses of the psittacosis group quinoxaline oxide resistance is easily obtained and i...
متن کاملIsolation of Rickettsia typhi from Human, Mexico
To the Editor: Murine typhus is a febrile illness caused by Rickettsia typhi. The clinical manifestations are nonspecific, and the signs and symptoms resemble those of several other febrile illnesses. Murine typhus can be a self-limiting infection; however, it should be diagnosed and treated because complications and even death can result (1). In Mexico, particularly in Yucatan State, cases of ...
متن کاملDetection of point mutations in rpoB gene of rifampin-resistant Rickettsia typhi.
The rpoB gene of rifampin-resistant Rickettsia typhi (Rif mutant) and wild-type R. typhi were sequenced and compared. The Rif mutant rpoB had three nucleotide substitutions, which resulted in amino acid changes at residues 151, 201, and 271 and may be the basis for the rifampin resistance.
متن کاملRickettsia-macrophage interactions: host cell responses to Rickettsia akari and Rickettsia typhi.
The existence of intracellular rickettsiae requires entry, survival, and replication in the eukaryotic host cells and exit to initiate new infection. While endothelial cells are the preferred target cells for most pathogenic rickettsiae, infection of monocytes/macrophages may also contribute to the establishment of rickettsial infection and resulting pathogenesis. We initiated studies to charac...
متن کاملCharacterization of Sec-translocon-dependent extracytoplasmic proteins of Rickettsia typhi.
As obligate intracellular, vector-borne bacteria, rickettsiae must adapt to both mammalian and arthropod host cell environments. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms of the interactions between rickettsiae and their host cells has largely been hindered by the genetic intractability of these organisms; however, research in other gram-negative pathogens has demonstrated that many bacterial determ...
