During a scrub typhus outbreak investigation in Thailand, 4 isolates of O. tsutsugamushi were obtained and established in culture. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 56-kDa type-specific antigen gene demonstrated that the isolates fell into 4 genetic clusters, 3 of which had been previously reported and 1 that represents a new genotype.
在泰国进行恙虫病暴发调查期间,获得并建立了 4 株恙虫病东方体的培养物。基于 56-kDa 型特异性抗原基因的系统发育分析表明,这些分离株分为 4 个遗传群,其中 3 个先前已有报道,1 个代表新基因型。
