Combination antibiotic therapy is required to eliminate Bartonella henselae in multiple microenvironments [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Bartonella are gram-negative, facultative intracellular bacteria. Infection by Bartonella manifests as different clinical syndromes collectively known as bartonellosis.

Porin A and α/β-hydrolase are necessary and sufficient for hemolysis induced by Bartonella bacilliformis [PDF]

Nature Communications
Carrion’s disease is endemic to the South American Andes and is characterized by fatal hemolytic anemia. This neglected tropical disease is caused by Bartonella bacilliformis, a fastidious and slow-growing pathogen difficult in genetic manipulation.

Mutation-Driven Divergence and Convergence Indicate Adaptive Evolution of the Intracellular Human-Restricted Pathogen, Bartonella bacilliformis. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Among all species of Bartonella, human-restricted Bartonella bacilliformis is the most virulent but harbors one of the most reduced genomes. Carrión's disease, the infection caused by B.

Development and characterisation of highly antibiotic resistant Bartonella bacilliformis mutants. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
AbstractThe objective was to develop and characterise in vitro Bartonella bacilliformis antibiotic resistant mutants. Three B. bacilliformis strains were plated 35 or 40 times with azithromycin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin or rifampicin discs. Resistance-stability was assessed performing 5 serial passages without antibiotic pressure.

Colonization of Lutzomyia verrucarum and Lutzomyia longipalpis Sand Flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) by Bartonella bacilliformis, the Etiologic Agent of Carrión's Disease. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Bartonella bacilliformis is a pathogenic bacterium transmitted to humans presumably by bites of phlebotomine sand flies, infection with which results in a bi-phasic syndrome termed Carrión's disease. After constructing a low-passage GFP-labeled strain of

Rapid and sensitive detection of Bartonella bacilliformis in experimentally infected sand flies by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of the Pap31 gene. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Carrion' disease, caused by Bartonella bacilliformis, remains truly neglected due to its focal geographical nature. A wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, including asymptomatic bacteremia, and lack of a sensitive diagnostic test can potentially ...

Identificación de Bartonella bacilliformis por métodos moleculares

Revista Médica Herediana, 2002
Introducción: La técnica de PCR amplifica una secuencia de ADN con la enzima polimerasa; es muy sensible y específica. Objetivo: Estandarizar una técnica de PCR para identificar Bartonella bacilliformis en sangre total de pacientes con bartonelosis aguda.

Entry of Bartonella bacilliformis into erythrocytes [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1986
Bartonella bacilliformis, which causes the human diseases Oroya fever and verruga peruana, binds to human erythrocytes in vitro and produces substantial and long-lasting deformations in erythrocyte membranes, including cone-shaped depressions, trenches, and deep invaginations.

Species diversity and detection of pathogens in phlebotomine sand flies collected from forest management areas of Quintana Roo, Mexico

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 845-858, December 2023., 2023
We compared sand fly communities of a forest reserve with those of forest management areas in Mexico to determine their species diversity (α and β) and determined peaks of activity. During the windy and dry season, the abundance of anthropophilic sand fly species is negatively correlated with the temperature and positively correlated with relative ...

Limitations of Serological Diagnosis of Typical Cat Scratch Disease and Recommendations for the Diagnostic Procedure

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Introduction. Cat scratch disease (CSD) is the most common cause of bacterial infectious lymphadenopathy, especially in children, but its diagnosis still remains challenging. Serological assays are widely applied due to their simplicity and the non‐invasive sampling.
