Function | |
Miscellaneus | Several virB and virD4 genes of O. tsutsugamushi were transcriptionally active in cultured fibroblast and macrophage cell lines as well as in experimentally infected animals. This finding suggests that the T4SS may function in Orientia and may have a significant role in pathogenesis of scrub typhus.
