Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA
J Infect Dis 183:1229-37. 2001..The location of bacterial rRNA in tissues from patients with Whipple's disease provides evidence that bacteria are growing outside cells and suggests that T. whippelii is not an obligate intracellular pathogen...
