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 ...

Bartonella bacilliformis or a similar organism and cardiovascular disease
Medical Hypotheses, 1994Bartonella bacilliformis invades the endothelial lining of the cardiovascular system. Damage to the red blood cells and white blood cells, the effects of the toxins, invasion of the brain and electrical charges induced by the organism so interfering with normal electrical stimulation of the heart may explain many of the features of cardiovascular ...

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.

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.

JMM Profile: Bartonella bacilliformis: a forgotten killer.
Journal of medical microbiology, 2023Bartonella bacilliformis causes Carrión's disease, an infectious disease present in rural Andean areas of Peru and Ecuador. The disease has an acute and a chronic phase called Oroya fever and Peruvian wart, respectively. Oroya fever is potentially fatal if treated inadequately.

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.

Endothelial Cell Factors Involved in Bartonella Bacilliformis Pathogenesis
2009The genus Bartonella comprises emerging pathogens that are causative agents of a wide range of clinical manifestations such as cat scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis, and Carrion?s disease. All species are transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods and infect erythrocytes and endothelial cells of hosts.
