Genomic Sequencing of Orientia tsutsugamushi Strain Karp, an Assembly Comparable to the Genome Size of the Strain Ikeda
نویسندگان
چکیده
Orientia tsutsugamushi, an intracellular bacterium, belongs to the family Rickettsiaceae This study presents the draft genome sequence of strain Karp, with 2.0 Mb as the size of the completed genome. This nearly finished draft genome sequence was annotated with the RAST server and the contents compared to those of the other strains.

We recently reported the genome of Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT) strain Karp (GenBank Accession #: NZ_LYMA00000000.2, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NZ_LYMA00000000.2) with > 2 Mb in size through clone-based sequencing and high throughput genomic shotgun sequencing (HTS). The genomes of OT strains AFSC4 and AFSC7 were similarly sequenced by HTS Since strains AFSC4 (GenBank Accession #: NZ_L...
متن کاملIsolation of a novel Orientia species (O. chuto sp. nov.) from a patient infected in Dubai.
In July 2006, an Australian tourist returning from Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), developed acute scrub typhus. Her signs and symptoms included fever, myalgia, headache, rash, and eschar. Orientia tsutsugamushi serology demonstrated a 4-fold rise in antibody titers in paired serum collections (1:512 to 1:8,192), with the sera reacting strongest against the Gilliam strain antigen. An ...
متن کاملNew Orientia tsutsugamushi strain from scrub typhus in Australia.
In a recent case of scrub typhus in Australia, Orientia tsutsugamushi isolated from the patient's blood was tested by sequence analysis of the 16S rDNA gene. The sequence showed a strain of O. tsutsugamushi that was quite different from the classic Karp, Kato, and Gilliam strains. The new strain has been designated Litchfield.
متن کاملSequence analysis of Orientia tsutsugamushi DNA from mites collected in the Xisa archipelago, China.
The genotype of Orientia tsutsugamushi DNA from mites in the Xisa archipelago of China were identified. A natural focus of tsutsugamushi disease in the archipelago was found. The DNA sequence that codes for the 56 kDa protein of O. tsutsugamushi was amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction (N-PCR). The purified positive products were cloned into a pGEM-T vector and sequenced. The DNA seque...

Background. Scrub typhus is a mite-borne rickettsial disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi in endemic areas, and a public health concern for a population of over a million new cases emerging and a billion people at risk of infection. Although doxycycline remains the standard therapy, some reported effectiveness of levofloxacin as alternative regimen when treatment with doxycycline fails. How...
