  abstract = {{O}ne century after the first description of rickettsiae as human pathogens, the rickettsiosis remained poorly understood diseases. {T}hese microorganisms are indeed characterized by a strictly intracellular location which has, for long, prohibited their detailed study. {W}ithin the last ten years, the completion of the genome sequences of several strains allowed gaining a better knowledge about the molecular mechanisms involved in rickettsia pathogenicity. {H}ere, we summarized available data concerning the critical steps of rickettsia-host cell interactions that should contribute to tissue injury and diseases, that is, adhesion, phagosomal escape, motility, and intracellular survival of the bacteria.},
