title: [Determination of Ehrlichia genome size by pulse gel electrophoresis].
abstract: Ehrlichia infections are more and more common in the USA and Europe. The genetics and genome organization of Ehrlichia are little studied due to great difficulties in cultivating these bacteria. Pulse gel electrophoresis was first used to determine the sizes of a genome of 3 representatives of the genus Ehrlichia. The sizes of a genome was established for E. sennetsu (881 kb), for E. risticii (867 kb), E. chaffeensis (1,236 kb).
