Query: NC_017057:804799 Rickettsia prowazekii str. RpGvF24 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Rickettsia prowazekii; Rickettsia; Rickettsiaceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: This species is the causal agent of typhus. The bacteria are transmitted via an insect, usually a tick, to a host organism, in this case humans, where they target endothelial cells and sometimes macrophages. They attach via an adhesin, rickettsial outer membrane protein A, and are internalized where they persist as cytoplasmically free organisms. Transovarial transmission (from mother to offspring) occurs in the invertebrate host.

General Information: Isolation: Human plasma; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 37C; Habitat: Host, Mouth microflora, Skin microflora. Anaerococcus prevotii, formerly Peptostreptococcus prevotii, is a member of the normal human gastrointestinal tract. However, it can be isolated from abscesses and other infections and may be considered an opportunistic pathogen.
