inside and kills other Gram-negative bacteria, was discovered more than 60 years ago …

Since its recognition in 1994 as the causative agent of human flea-borne spotted fever,
Rickettsia felis, has been detected worldwide in over 40 different arthropod species. The cat …

Our understanding of free-living bacterial models like Escherichia coli far outpaces that of
obligate intracellular bacteria, which cannot be cultured axenically. All obligate intracellular …
