Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Caused by Bartonella quintana
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.

Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata) as Natural Reservoir of Bartonella quintana
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015 Bartonella quintana bacteremia was detected in 6 (13.3%) of 45 wild-caught Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata). Multilocus sequence typing of the isolates revealed that Japanese macaques were infected with a new and specific B.

Bartonella quintana, an Unrecognized Cause of Infective Endocarditis in Children in Ethiopia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 Bartonella quintana endocarditis, a common cause of culture-negative endocarditis in adults, has rarely been reported in children. We describe 5 patients 7–16 years of age from Ethiopia with heart defects and endocarditis; 4 cases were caused by ...

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

Pathological investigation and microbiological confirmation of Bartonella quintana endocarditis: A case of trench fever without the trench or fever [PDF]
IDCasesBartonella quintana is a louse-borne Gram-negative bacterium first discovered as the cause of trench fever during World War I. As B. quintana is not identified using routine culture with 5-day incubation, the pathogen is an agent of blood culture ...
