Introduction | Coxiella burnetii is a small Gram-negative bacterium that causes Q fever, a relatively rare zoonotic disease. The bacterium invades cells and forms a vacuole, using Ank proteins to prevent its fusion with endosomes. It is extremely infectious, with a single bacterium having approximately a 50% chance of infecting a human being. Symptoms of Q fever include fever, aches, dry cough, nausea, and loss of appetite. Over time, Q fever can sometimes progress to a chronic infection, causing granulomatous hepatitis or endocarditis. The infection is treated with tetracyclines and quinolones. |
Target | Coxiella Burnetii |
