Carrion's disease after blood transfusion [PDF]
, 2015 Bartonella bacilliformis is a pathogen that is endemic in some areas of the Andean region of Peru, southern Ecuador and southern Colombia. This pathogen causes so-called Carrion's disease, a biphasic disease with acute and chronic phases (called Oroya ...

Molecular Detection of Bartonella spp. in China and St. Kitts
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Bartonella are vector‐borne hemotropic bacteria that infect a wide variety of hosts, including people. While there are PCR assays that can identify individual or groups of Bartonella, there is no reliable molecular method to simultaneously detect all species while maintaining genus specificity and sensitivity.

Semantic Modeling for Exposomics with Exploratory Evaluation in Clinical Context
Journal of Healthcare Engineering, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Exposome is a critical dimension in the precision medicine paradigm. Effective representation of exposomics knowledge is instrumental to melding nongenetic factors into data analytics for clinical research. There is still limited work in (1) modeling exposome entities and relations with proper integration to mainstream ontologies and (2) systematically

Highly Sensitive Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification for the Detection of Leptospira
International Journal of Bacteriology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by an infection with the pathogenic species of Leptospira. We have developed a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay to detect the DNA of Leptospira spp. Six sets of primers targeting the gene of the subsurface protein, lipL32, were evaluated for their detection sensitivity. The best primer set

Identification of outer membrane proteins of Bartonella bacilliformis [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1994 Purification of the outer membrane of Bartonella bacilliformis by sucrose step gradient centrifugation and analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) suggest that 14 proteins, ranging from 11.2 to 75.3 kDa, are located in the outer membrane of the pathogen.

Infectious agents, Leptospira spp. and Bartonella spp., in blood donors from Cajamarca, Peru [PDF]
, 2016 The implementation of molecular and serological tests has led a great decline in transfusion-transmitted infections. Unfortunately, however, this has only occurred in high-income countries, whereas the scenario is different in low-income countries and in

Interplay of the Gastric Pathogen Helicobacter pylori with Toll‐Like Receptors
BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are crucial for pathogen recognition and downstream signaling to induce effective immunity. The gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori is a paradigm of persistent bacterial infections and chronic inflammation in humans. The chronicity of inflammation during H.

Upscaling the surveillance of tick-borne pathogens in the French Caribbean Islands [PDF]
, 2020 Despite the high burden of vector-borne disease in (sub)tropical areas, few information are available regarding the diversity of tick and tick-borne pathogens circulating in the Caribbean.

An Overview of Pathogen Recognition Receptors for Innate Immunity in Dental Pulp
Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) are a class of germ line‐encoded receptors that recognize pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). The activation of PRRs is crucial for the initiation of innate immunity, which plays a key role in first‐line defense until more specific adaptive immunity is developed.
