Targeted Knockout of the <named-content content-type="genus-species">Rickettsia rickettsii</named-content> OmpA Surface Antigen Does Not Diminish Virulence in a Mammalian Model System
ABSTRACT Strains of Rickettsia rickettsii, the causative agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), differ dramatically in virulence despite >99% genetic homology. Spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae produce two immunodominant outer membrane proteins, rickettsial OmpA (rOmpA) and rOmpB, whic...
