| Definition (NCI_CDISC) | Any bacterial organism that can be assigned to the species Coxiella burnetii. |
| Definition (NCI) | A species of aerobic, Gram negative, coccobacilli shaped bacteria in the phylum Proteobacteria. This species is obligately intracellular, sporeforming, acidophilic, pleomorphic and catalase positive. C. burnetti is pathogenic, being the causative agent of Q fever. |
| Definition (MSH) | A species of gram-negative bacteria that grows preferentially in the vacuoles of the host cell. It is the etiological agent of Q FEVER. |
| Definition (CSP) | species of gram negative bacteria that grows preferentially in the vacuoles of the host cell; etiologic agent of Q fever; historically classified within the Rickettsiales order, is now taxonomically placed in the Legionellales order, Coxiellaceae family. |

| Definition (MSH) | An acute infectious disease caused by COXIELLA BURNETII. It is characterized by a sudden onset of FEVER; HEADACHE; malaise; and weakness. In humans, it is commonly contracted by inhalation of infected dusts derived from infected domestic animals (ANIMALS, DOMESTIC). |
