Coxiellaceae
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
The Coxiellaceae are a family in the order Legionellales.[1][2]
Coxiella burnetii is the best-described species in this group.
The bacterium Rickettsiella melolonthae was initially assigned to the Coxiellaceae,[2] but is considered part of the Diplorickettsiaceae (a closely related lineage of Gammaproteobacteria) based on recent phylogenomic reconstructions.[3][4]
Various other Coxiellaceae lineages have so-far evaded cultivation efforts but have been characterized through culture-independent genomics and are present in both freshwater and diverse marine environments, likely with a host-associated lifestyle similar to that of Coxiella burnetti[5].
