Rickettsia buchneri inhibits infection and replication of other tick-borne bacteria in tick cell culture. IRE11 cells infected with different levels of R. buchneri-GFPuv were infected with serial dilutions of red fluorescent A. phagocytophilum (A), R. monacensis (B), or R. parkeri (C), and plates were monitored over 14 days for infection and replication, compared to uninfected IRE11 cells. (D) The percentage of IRE11 cells infected with R. parkeri-mKate was assessed by fluorescent microscopy. Measurements not taken on days 6, 9, and 10.
