Description

Rickettsia is a genus of non-motile, Gram-negative, and highly pleomorphic bacteria. Their survival depends on entry, growth, and replication within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic host cells. Rickettsia species are carried by many ticks, fleas, and lice, and cause a variety of diseases in humans. Rickettsia is classified into three groups: spotted fever, typhus and scrub typhus. Original classification was based on serology and has since been confirmed by DNA sequencing. Rickettsia spotted fever group and associated illnesses include R rickettsii (Rocky Mountain spotted fever), R akari (Rickettsialpox), R conorii (Boutonneuse fever), R sibirica (Siberian tick typhus or North Asian tick typhus), R australis (Australian tick typhus), R felis (Flea-borne spotted fever), R japonica (Oriental spotted fever), R africae (African tick bite fever), and R hoogstraalii (unknown pathogenicity).
