A genome-wide RNAi screen identifies host cell cycle regulation as a determinant of <i>Orientia tsutsugamushi</i> infection
2026-05-12
Abstract excerpt
Orientia tsutsugamushi (Ot) is an obligate intracellular bacterium that causes scrub typhus, a potentially life-threatening disease. To systematically identify host factors regulating early stages of infection, we performed a microscopy-based genome-wide siRNA screen in HeLa cells. This approach identified 2,989 genes grouped into 55 functional networks that modulate bacterial entry and intracellular translocation...
