Gene Sequence-Based Criteria for Identification of New Rickettsia Isolates and Description of Rickettsia heilongjiangensis sp. nov
Open accessAbstract
We propose genetic guidelines for the classification of rickettsial isolates at the genus, group, and species levels by using sequences of the 16S rRNA (rrs) gene and four protein-coding genes, the gltA,ompA, and ompB genes and gene D. To be classified as a member of the genus Rickettsia, an isolate should exhibit degrees of rrs and gltA homology with any of the 20 Rickettsia species studied of ≥98.1 and ≥86.5%, respectively. A member of the typhus group should fulfill at least two of the following four criteria: pairwise nucleotide sequence homologies with rrs,gltA,ompB, and gene D of either Rickettsia typhi or Rickettsia prowazekii of ≥99.4, ≥96.6, ≥92.4, and ≥91.6%, respectively. A member of the spotted fever group should either possess the ompA gene or fulfill at least two of the following four criteria: pairwise nucleotide sequence homologies with rrs,gltA,ompB, and gene D of any member of this group of ≥98.8, ≥92.7, ≥85.8, and ≥82.2%, respectively. The existence of a distinct “ancestral” group should be questioned. To be classified as a new Rickettsia species, an isolate should not exhibit more than one of the following degrees of nucleotide similarity with the most homologous validated species: ≥99.8 and ≥ 99.9% for the rrs and gltA genes, respectively, and, when amplifiable, ≥98.8, ≥99.2, and ≥99.3% for the ompA and ompB genes and gene D, respectively. By use of our classification scheme, “Rickettsia heilongjiangii” belongs to a new species for which we officially propose the name Rickettsia heilongjiangensis sp. nov.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
