Bartonella spp. Infections Identified by Molecular Methods, United States
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 Molecular methods can enable rapid identification of Bartonella spp. infections, which are difficult to diagnose by using culture or serology. We analyzed clinical test results of PCR that targeted bacterial 16S rRNA hypervariable V1–V2 regions only or ...

Large-scale identification of pathogenicity factors in "Bartonella" by signature-tagged mutagenesis [PDF]
, 2005 Bartonellae are bacterial pathogens uniquely adapted to cause intraerythrocytic infection in their mammalian reservoir hosts. In the case of human-specific Bartonella bacilliformis and Bartonella quintana, the intraerythrocytic bacteremia leads to the ...

The role of the VirB/VirD4/Bep system in "Bartonella henselae"-triggered vascular proliferation [PDF]
, 2009 Bartonella henselae (Bh) rarely shows any symptoms in its feline reservoir host but is responsible for a number of clinical outcomes during infection of the human incidental host. Bh shares with B. quintana (Bq) and B.

Prevalence of Bartonella spp. by culture, PCR and serology, in veterinary personnel from Spain
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Background The genus Bartonella includes fastidious, facultative intracellular bacteria mainly transmitted by arthropods and distributed among mammalian reservoirs. Bartonella spp. implicated as etiological agents of zoonoses are increasing.
