Molecular mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics in Bartonella bacilliformis [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2007
Bartonella bacilliformis is the aetiological agent of Carrion's disease. Although ciprofloxacin, rifampicin and erythromycin have been successfully used in the treatment of the disease, failures and relapses have been reported. The objective of our study was to select in vitro mutants resistant to antibiotics in order to determine the frequency of ...

Host–Pathogen–Vector Continuum in a Changing Landscape: Potential Transmission Pathways for Bartonella in a Small Mammal Community

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
This study focuses on Bartonella spp. (a Gram‐negative bacteria) in small mammals and their ectoparasites within a rainforest human‐use landscape. We found that a high proportion (40.56%) of the tested small mammals across five species and two sites carry Bartonella, with prevalence being positively correlated with aggregated ectoparasite load. Despite

Campylobacter jejuni gene cj0511 encodes a serine peptidase essential for colonisation

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 468-472, January 01, 2014., 2014
According to MEROPS peptidase database, Campylobacter species encode 64 predicted peptidases. However, proteolytic properties of only a few of these proteins have been confirmed experimentally. In this study we identified and characterised a Campylobacter jejuni gene cj0511 encoding a novel peptidase.

Diversity of bartonellae in mites (Acari: Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) of boreal forest bats: Association of host specificity of mites and habitat selection of hosts with vector potential

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 518-529, December 2024.
Bats play a major role in the circulation of zoonotic pathogens. Mites (Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) may facilitate the long‐term maintenance (and even local recurrence) of Bartonella‐infestations. Mites may transmit several distinct Bartonella strains, which cluster phylogenetically close to Bartonella species known for their zoonotic role ...

Frequencies of Blood Group Systems MNS, Diego, and Duffy and Clinical Phases of Carrion’s Disease in Amazonas, Peru

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Carrion’s disease (CD), is a human bartonellosis, that is, endemic in the Andes of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. Bartonella bacilliformis, a native hemotrophic bacteria, is the causative agent of CD, and the interaction with the host could have produced changes in the gene frequencies of erythrocyte antigens.

Beyond Cat Scratch Disease: A Case Report of Bartonella Infection Mimicking Vasculitic Disorder

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a bacterial disease caused by Bartonella henselae and it is mainly characterized by self‐limiting lymphadenopathy in the draining site of a cat scratch or bite. We report a patient with history of fever, swelling lymph nodes, vasculitic‐like skin lesions, and positivity of Bartonella serology initially considered as ...
