Gene Transfer Agent Promotes Evolvability within the Fittest Subpopulation of a Bacterial Pathogen [PDF]
The Bartonella gene transfer agent (BaGTA) is an archetypical example for domestication of a phage-derived element to permit high-frequency genetic exchange in bacterial populations.

Neurorretinitis por Bartonella henselae en un adolescente
Neurorretinitis as a manifestation of cat scratch disease occurs in 1-2 % of patients with Bartonella Henselae eye disease. Ocular manifestations tend to follow systemic ones, although they can appear in their absence. The presence of star-shaped macular exudate is characteristic and suggestive of this infection.

Cats as a reservoir of Bartonella henselae for dogs
Bartonellosis is a disease affecting a variety of animals. Many Bartonella infections are zoonotic, including cat scratch disease. Within the genus Bartonella are 45 species, of which more than 10 can infect cats and dogs. Companion animals serve as reservoirs for several zoonotic species of Bartonella, and may also serve as sentinels for zoonotic ...

Bartonella henselaeand Domestic Cats, Jamaica [PDF]
To the Editor: Bartonella henselae has been isolated from domestic cats in most countries where it has been investigated (1), with the exception of some countries at northern latitudes, such as Norway (2). The prevalence of both bacteremia and seropositivity in cats is usually highest in warm and humid tropical countries.

Bartonella clarridgeiae infection in a patient with aortic root abscess and endocarditis [PDF]
Introduction. Bartonella species are increasingly recognized as agents of culture-negative endocarditis. However, to date, almost all human cases have been associated with two members of the genus, Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana. B. henselae
