Large-scale identification of pathogenicity factors in "Bartonella" by signature-tagged mutagenesis [PDF]
, 2005 Bartonellae are bacterial pathogens uniquely adapted to cause intraerythrocytic infection in their mammalian reservoir hosts. In the case of human-specific Bartonella bacilliformis and Bartonella quintana, the intraerythrocytic bacteremia leads to the ...

Invasion and persistent intracellular colonization of erythrocytes : A unique parasitic strategy of the emerging pathogen Bartonella [PDF]
, 2001 The expanding genus Bartonella includes zoonotic and human-specific pathogens that can cause a wide range of clinical manifestations. A productive infection allowing bacterial transmission by blood-sucking arthropods is marked by an intraerythrocytic ...

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

The role of the VirB/VirD4/Bep system in "Bartonella henselae"-triggered vascular proliferation [PDF]
, 2009 Bartonella henselae (Bh) rarely shows any symptoms in its feline reservoir host but is responsible for a number of clinical outcomes during infection of the human incidental host. Bh shares with B. quintana (Bq) and B.

From FIC to BID : target identification and functional characterization of "Bartonella" effector proteins [PDF]
, 2014 Pathogens belonging to the genus Bartonella employ a unique stealth infection strategy that involves evasion from the host immune system, replication in the endothelium and persistence in erythrocytes.

JMM Profile: Bartonella bacilliformis: a forgotten killer
, 2022 Bartonella 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.

Carrion’s disease: more than a neglected disease
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Infections with Bartonella bacilliformis result in Carrion’s disease in humans. In the first phase of infection, the pathogen causes a hemolytic fever (“Oroya fever”) with case-fatality rates as high as ~90% in untreated patients, followed by a chronical

Multi-locus sequence analysis reveals profound genetic diversity among isolates of the human pathogen Bartonella bacilliformis. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 Bartonella bacilliformis is the aetiological agent of human bartonellosis, a potentially life threatening infection of significant public health concern in the Andean region of South America. Human bartonellosis has long been recognised in the region but
