Complete genomes of two Ikeda-genotype Orientia tsutsugamushi isolates from South Korea reveal within-lineage divergence and contrast with the Boryong reference strain.

Abstract excerpt

Orientia tsutsugamushi strain Ikeda is a scrub typhus reference strain originally described in Japan, and Ikeda 56-kDa type-specific antigen sequence types have also been reported in South Korea. However, complete genome resources for South Korean Ikeda-genotype isolates remain limited. Here, we generated complete genomes for two archived clinical O. tsutsugamushi isolates from northern South Korea, CH219 and...
