Resumo(s)
The genus Rickettsia (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) includes Gram-negative, small, obligate intracellular,
nonmotile, pleomorphic coccobacilli bacteria transmitted by arthropods. Some of them cause human and
probably also animal disease (life threatening in some patients). In these guidelines, we give clinical practice
advices (microscopy, serology, molecular tools, and culture) for the microbiological study of these microorganisms
in clinical samples. Since in our environment rickettsioses are mainly transmitted by ticks, practical
information for the identification of these arthropods and for the study of Rickettsia infections in ticks has also
been added.
