Multispacer typing of Rickettsia prowazekii enabling epidemiological studies of epidemic typhus.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Sept 2005

Zhu Yong, Fournier Pierre-Edouard, Ogata Hiroyuki, Raoult Didier

Abstract excerpt

Currently, there is no tool for typing Rickettsia prowazekii, the causative agent of epidemic typhus, currently considered a potential bioterrorism agent, at the strain level. To test if the multispacer typing (MST) method could differentiate strains of R. prowazekii, we amplified and sequenced the 25 most variable intergenic spacers between the R. prowazekii and R. conorii genomes in five strains and 10 body...
