Microevolution of the chromosomal region of acute disease antigen A (adaA) in the query (Q) fever agent Coxiella burnetii.

Microevolution of the chromosomal region of acute disease antigen A (adaA) in the query (Q) fever agent Coxiella burnetii.

The acute disease antigen A (adaA) gene is believed to be associated with Coxiella burnetii strains causing acute Q fever. The detailed analysis of the adaA genomic region of 23 human- and 86 animal-derived C. burnetii isolates presented in this study reveals a much more polymorphic appearance and d...
