Систематика и номенклатура представителей порядка Rickettsiales всегда основывалась на ограниченном количестве доступных фенотипических характеристик, что связано с их облигатной внутриклеточной локализацией. Интенсивное применение «молекулярных» технологий привело к описанию значительного количества новых видов в этой таксономической группе, а также к реклассификации некоторых её представителей. Другим символом эпохи «молекулярных» технологий стало появление видов, родов и семейств имеющих статус кандидатов («Candidatus») вследствие невозможности культивирования и изучения биологических свойств, что требуется при описании нового валидного вида. Необходимо разрешение этой проблемы, основанное на развитии и применении новых наукоёмких технологий. В обзоре представлены современные данные по систематике, номенклатуре и эволюции представителей порядка Rickettsiales, новых технологиях, подходах и методах изучения некоторых групп прокариот. Публикуемые материалы были получены при анализе зарубежных и отечественных научных публикаций, а также на основании собственных опубликованных данных. Дано новое представление о классификации и таксономии внутри рода Rickettsia.

Systematics and nomenclature of representatives Rickettsiales order has always been based on a limited number of available phenotypic characteristics, due to their obligate intracellular localization. Intensive use of «molecular» technology has led to the description of a large number of new species of this taxonomic group, as well as to the reclassification of some of its representatives. Another symbol of the era of «molecular» technology is the emergence of species, genera and families with candidate status («Candidatus») due to the inability of cultivation and studying of biological properties that is required for a valid description of the new species. It should be a legitimate solution to this problem, based on the development and application of new high technologies. This review summarizes recent data on the taxonomy, nomenclature and evolution of representatives order Rickettsiales, new technologies, approaches and methods for the study of certain groups of prokaryotes. Published materials were obtained in the analysis of foreign and Russian scientific publications, as well as on the basis of its own published data. The paper contains a new understanding of the classification within the genus Rickettsia.
