Mutations in Ehrlichia chaffeensis Causing Polar Effects in Gene Expression and Differential Host Specificities
Ehrlichia chaffeensis, a tick-borne rickettsial, is responsible for human monocytic ehrlichiosis. In this study, we assessed E. chaffeensis insertion mutations impacting the transcription of genes near the insertion sites. We presented evidence that the mutations within the E. chaffeensis genome at...
