Bartonella bacilliformis infection
2010Bartonellosis (Carrión´s disease, verruga Peruana, Oroya fever, Guaitará fever) is caused by the Gram-negative bacillus Bartonella bacilliformis. It is endemic in the western Andes and inter-Andean valleys of Peru, and is still occasionally reported in Ecuador, with infection resulting from the bite of various female sandflies....

Analysis and Preparation of Bartonella Bacilliformis Antigens
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988Twenty-four antigens of Bartonella bacilliformis, a bacterium which causes bartonellosis in residents of high altitude valleys of the Andes, were identified by immunoblot and immunoprecipitation using rabbit anti-Bartonella sera as well as sera of patients.

Molecular characterization and proposal of a neotype strain for Bartonella bacilliformis
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1991Bartonella bacilliformis, the etiologic agent of bartonellosis, was characterized biochemically and by DNA hybridization, guanine-plus-cytosine content, genome size, and 16S rRNA sequencing. DNAs from the two strains in our collection exhibited 97% relatedness in hydroxyapatite reactions done at 55 degrees C (optimal reassociation criterion) and 100 ...

This chapter discusses Bartonella bacilliformis, a gram-negative, facultative intracellular, aerobic coccobacillus and a member of the α-proteobacteria group, along with Rickettsia and Brucella. It explains how B. bacilliformis is responsible for a spectrum of diseases, such as bartonellosis, Carrion's disease, Oroya fever, and verruga peruana ...

Interactions between Live Bartonella bacilliformis and Endothelial Cells
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1992Bartonella bacilliformis, a gram-negative, flagellated, motile bacterium, is the etiologic agent of verruca peruana. It is found within the verruca, where it can form large cytoplasmic (Rocha-Lima) inclusions in endothelial cells. Previously, an activity has been described in homogenates of B.

Common Surface Epitope of Bartonella Bacilliformis and Chlamydia Psittaci
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988A serosurvey revealed intense cross-reactivity between Bartonella bacilliformis and Chlamydia psittaci. One of the cross-reacting Bartonella antigens was identified as lipopolysaccharide which reacted with Bartonella as well as with Chlamydia serum antibodies.

Interaction of Bartonella bacilliformis with human erythrocyte membrane proteins
Microbial Pathogenesis, 2000Intracellular invasion is an important aspect of Carrión's disease caused by Bartonella bacilliformis. Both the hematic and tissue phases of the disease involve the initial attachment of the organism to erythrocytes and endothelial cells, respectively. Using two different approaches, preliminary evidence is provided that B. bacilliformis interacts with

Virulence Determinants of Bartonella bacilliformis
2005Understanding the molecular basis for pathogenesis in B. bacilliformis will serve as a model system to study virulence mechanisms in other hemotrophic bacterial pathogens. A more comprehensive understanding of pathogenesis is important,as many species of bartonella, including B. quintana, B. henselae, and B.

Characterization of the fMet initiator tRNA gene of Bartonella bacilliformis
Gene, 1993A ribosomal RNA operon was cloned from the agent of human Oroya fever, Bartonella bacilliformis. The 3' end of the operon contains a 77-nucleotide (nt) N-formylmethionine (fMet) initiator tRNA-encoding gene with 100% sequence identity to the fMet tRNA-encoding gene of Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

Bartonellas excluding B. bacilliformis
2020Abstract Bartonellae are Gram-negative bacilli or coccobacilli belonging to the α-2 subgroup of Proteobacteria. A given Bartonella species usually persists within a given mammalian host, with transmission between hosts by haematophagous arthropods. A single species, such as B. henselae or B.
