Abstract excerpt
Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligate intracellular organism, is the causative agent of scrub typhus. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a genetic typing method that provides a unified bacterial isolate characterization approach. However, there are no comparative studies in South Korea on the genotypic properties of O. tsutsugamushi based on MLST. To conduct a comparative analysis with previous data collected...
