This study shows extracellular Orientia tsutsugamushi contributes to systemic dissemination and that gentamicin reduces bacterial growth in a murine model.

The paper confirms high levels of antisense transcription in Orientia tsutsugamushi across multiple strains and suggests it may be a regulated mechanism in its lifecycle.

This study identifies four distinct growth stages of Orientia tsutsugamushi within host cells using single-cell analysis, revealing asynchronous growth and transcriptional/translation heterogeneity.

The paper compares dual RNA-seq data from eight Orientia tsutsugamushi strains in endothelial cells, finding no clear gene expression patterns correlating with virulence but identifying strain-specific interferon responses and conserved bacterial pathways.

This study identifies how Orientia tsutsugamushi uses ScaC to recruit BICD2 for dynein-based motility, revealing a mechanism for bacterial transport within host cells.

This study compares seven strains of Orientia tsutsugamushi to identify virulence factors, finding no single gene or pattern predicts virulence, but highlighting complex interactions among effector proteins.
