Bartonella quintana detection in Demodex from erythematotelangiectatic rosacea patients
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014 We report here the presence of Bartonella quintana in a demodex. Demodex are arthropods associated with acnea. Bartonella quintana was found by broad Spectrum 16rDNA PCR amplification and sequencing, and confirmed by specific PCR. Bartonella quintana may

Bartonella quintana in Domestic Cat
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 We recovered Bartonella quintana DNA from dental pulp of a domestic cat. This study, the first to detect B. quintana in a nonhuman mammal, changes our understanding of the epidemiology of this infection and proposes that cats may be an emerging source of

Bartonella quintana and Rickettsia felis in Gabon
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 We detected Rickettsia felis DNA in Ctenocephalides felis and Bartonella quintana DNA in 3 Pulex irritans fleas taken from a pet Cercopithecus cephus monkey in Gabon, sub-Saharan Africa. This is the first report of B. quintana in the human flea.

Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Caused by Bartonella quintana [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002 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.

Heat shock response and groEL sequence of Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana [PDF]
Microbiology, 1997 Summary: Transmission of Bartonella species from ectoparasites to the mammalian host involves adaptation to thermal and other forms of stress. In order to better understand this process, the heat shock response of Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana was studied. Cellular proteins synthesized after shift to higher temperatures were intrinsically
