Abstract
Abstract: Rickettsiae survival implicates adaptation to different environmental conditions. We hypothesized that multiple copies of genes in bacteria with reduced genomes might account for such a process. Transcription of spoT and sca paralogs was thus analyzed in R. conorii and R. felis.Keywords
