Abstract excerpt
Orientia tsutsugamushi , an obligate intracellular organism, is the causative agent of scrub typhus, which is endemic in the Asia-Pacific region. No comparative studies on the genotypic properties of O. tsutsugamushi have been performed using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) in South Korea.
