摘要：

We propose the name Rickettsia japonica sp. nov. (with type strain YH [= ATCC VR-1363]) for a serologically specific species of spotted fever group rickettsiae that are pathogenic for humans (J. Infect. Dis. 159: 1122-1126, 1989; J. Clin. Microbiol. 28: 1177-1180, 1990). The biologic and genomic characteristics of the organism (G + C content, 31.2 +/- 0.7 mol%) are essentially the same as those of other pathogenic spotted fever group rickettsiae, although the R. japonica isolates cause a persistent infection in Vero cells for many subcultures.
