Genomotyping of Coxiella burnetii using microarrays reveals a conserved genomotype for hard tick isolates.
C. burnetii is a Gram-negative intracellular Y-proteobacteria that causes the zoonotic disease Q fever. Q fever can manifest as an acute or chronic illness. Different typing methods have been previously developed to classify C. burnetii isolates to explore its pathogenicity. Here, we report a compre...
