title: DNA base composition of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: The DNA base composition of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi was determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and compared with that of Rickettsia rickettsii. The G+C contents were 28.1 to 30.5 mol% for R. tsutsugamushi and 32.1 mol% for R. rickettsii.
