Protein and DNA synthesis demonstrated in cell-free Ehrlichia chaffeensis organisms in axenic medium
Abstract Ehrlichia chaffeensis, a tick-transmitted rickettsial bacterium, is the causative agent of human monocytic ehrlichiosis. Biochemical characterization of this and other related Rickettsiales remains a major challenge, as they require a host cell for their replication. We investigated the use...
