Abstract
A previously undescribed obligate intracellular bacterium was isolated from an aborted bovine fetus. The organism was resistant to penicillin, replicated within cytoplasmic vacuoles, exhibited structural characteristics compatible with the rickettsias, and shared antigenic detrminants with Cowdria ruminantium.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
