Genetic mechanisms of Coxiella burnetii lipopolysaccharide phase variation.

PLoS pathogens - 1 Mar 2018

Beare Paul A, Jeffrey Brendan M, Long Carrie M, Martens Craig M, Heinzen Robert A

Abstract excerpt

Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular pathogen that causes human Q fever, a disease that normally presents as a severe flu-like illness. Due to high infectivity and disease severity, the pathogen is considered a risk group 3 organism. Full-length lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is required for full virulence and disease by C. burnetii and is the only virulence factor currently defined by infection of an immunocompetent...
