Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Strains of Rickettsia rickettsii , the tick-borne agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, vary considerably in virulence. Genomic comparisons of R. rickettsii strains have identified a relatively small number of genes divergent in an avirulent strain. Among these is one annotated asRickettsiaankyrin repeat protein 2 (RARP-2). Homologs of RARP-2 are present in all strains of R. rickettsii , but the protein...
