Bartonella bacilliformis: colonial types and erythrocyte adherence [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1981 Bartonella bacilliformis was cultivated on a solid medium, and two bartonella colonial morphologies were differentiated and designated colony types T1 and T2. Although both T1 and T2 bartonellae adhered to human erythrocytes in vitro, approximately twice as many T2 bartonellae adhered as did T1. Maximum adherence required bartonella energy, most likely

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.

DEMONSTRATION OF AGGLUTININS FOR BARTONELLA BACILLIFORMIS [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1942 1. Methods of preparing a satisfactory antigen having been developed, a technique for performing an agglutination test with B. bacilliformis is made available. 2. As a result of repeated intravenous injection of living cultures of B. bacilliformis at short intervals, rabbits have been found to produce a high titre of specific agglutinins

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 ...

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

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

Transformation of Bartonella bacilliformis by electroporation
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1994 Bartonella bacilliformis is a member of the order Rickettsiales, family Bartonellaceae. The bacterium is an intracellular parasite of human erythrocytes. To date, members of the family Bartonellaceae have not been transformed by standard chemical methods.

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
