Being obligate intracellular parasites, the Rickettsia survival depends on entry, growth, and replication within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic host cells (typically endothelial cells). 1909年由美国青年医生Ricketts最先发现，Ricketts在研究中不幸被感染而死，为了纪念他，将这一类微生物命名为rickettsia。 立克次体(Rickettsia) Category of rickettsia 变形菌纲 立克次体目
