Complete genomes of Orientia tsutsugamushi strains TW-1 and TW-22 in Taiwan

This project contributes complete genomes of Orientia tsutsugamushi strains TW-1 and TW-22, which are the two most represented genotypes among clinical isolates in Taiwan. Orientia tsutsugamushi is the causative agent of scrub typhus, a chigger mite-borne rickettsial disease that is life-threatening if untreated.
