Abstract excerpt
The Rickettsia genus comprises obligate intracellular bacteria transmitted by arthropods and responsible for clinically relevant zoonoses, rickettsioses, such as spotted fever and typhus. The difficulty of cultivating these bacteria in vitro reinforces the importance of in silico approaches, such as pangenomic and genomic plasticity analyses. This study analyzed 165 genomes from 31 Rickettsia species available in...
