Q

weil felix test

A

Some Rickettsia share antigenic characteristics with
certain strains of Proteus vulgaris bacteria. It is purely
coincidental that they have the same antigens. Proteus

is not involved at all in rickettsial disease. The Proteus
vulgaris strains that share these common antigens are
designated OX-2, OX-19, and OX-K.
