Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Caused by Bartonella quintana [PDF]
We describe the first case of Bartonella quintana endocarditis affecting a prosthetic valve in a person with no known risk factors for this infection. Bartonella should be considered as a cause of endocarditis in any clinical setting.

Molecular epidemiology of Bartonella quintana endocarditis in patients from Israel and Eastern Africa. [PDF]
Background Bartonella quintana is an important cause of culture-negative endocarditis. Although humans have been considered as its only reservoir, recent studies showed that macaque species are also reservoirs of B. quintana .
