Do typhus cells have plasmids?

Typhus, caused by Rickettsia bacteria, does not involve typical "typhus cells," as these bacteria are obligate intracellular parasites. Rickettsia species do possess plasmids, although they are not as common or well-studied as those found in other bacteria. Plasmids in Rickettsia can carry genes that contribute to their virulence and adaptation to host environments. Thus, while Rickettsia may have plasmids, the term "typhus cells" is not applicable in the traditional sense.
