Physical map of the Bartonella bacilliformis genome [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1995
The genome of Bartonella bacilliformis was shown to be a single circular DNA molecule of about 1,600 kbp having six NotI, four SfiI, and two CeuI sites. A physical map of the DNA was constructed by contour-clamped homogeneous electric field pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of DNA restriction fragments. rRNA operons, the invasion-associated locus, and a

Whole-Genome Analysis of Bartonella ancashensis, a Novel Pathogen Causing Verruga Peruana, Rural Ancash Region, Peru

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
The genus Bartonella contains >40 species, and an increasing number of these Bartonella species are being implicated in human disease. One such pathogen is Bartonella ancashensis, which was isolated in blood samples from 2 patients living in Caraz, Peru,

The Trw type IV secretion system of Bartonella mediates host-specific adhesion to erythrocytes [PDF]

, 2010
Bacterial pathogens typically infect only a limited range of hosts; however, the genetic mechanisms governing host-specificity are poorly understood.

Revisiting Bartonella bacilliformis MLST

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2018
All the studies published including Bartonella bacilliformis MLST data, as well as all B. bacilliformis genomes present in GenBank were analyzed. Overall 64 isolates and their geographical distribution were analyzed, and 14 different MLST patterns were observed. The results highlight the need for expanding the MLST studies and adding a higher number of

A bacteriophage-like particle from Bartonella bacilliformis [PDF]

Microbiology, 2000
Bartonella bacilliformis and Bartonella henselae, the respective agents of Oroya fever and cat-scratch disease in humans, are known to produce bacteriophage-like particles (BLPs) that package 14 kbp segments of the host chromosome. Data from this study suggest that other Bartonella species including Bartonella quintana, Bartonella doshiae and ...

Carrion's Disease: More Than a Sand Fly-Vectored Illness [PDF]

, 2016
Carrion’s disease is a biphasic illness (S1 Fig) caused by an infection of Bartonella bacilliformis, a bacterium that is transmitted through bites of certain phlebotomine sand flies in the Andean valleys of Peru and in some areas of Ecuador and southern ...

Diagnosis of Carrion's disease by direct blood PCR in thin blood smear negative samples.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Bartonella bacilliformis is the etiologic agent of Carrion's disease. This disease has two well established phases, the most relevant being the so called Oroya Fever, in which B.

The protein–protein interactions required for assembly of the Tn3 resolution synapse

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 952-965, December 2020., 2020
The site‐specific recombinase Tn3 resolvase builds an intricate protein‐DNA complex (synapse) prior to cutting and rejoining DNA strands. We used a novel complementation strategy involving hybrids of Tn3 resolvase and a related enzyme, Bart resolvase, to show that a specific protein‐protein “R” interface is used by all the DNA‐bound resolvase dimers in
