Bartonella quintana deploys host and vector temperature-specific transcriptomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The bacterial pathogen Bartonella quintana is passed between humans by body lice. B. quintana has adapted to both the human host and body louse vector niches, producing persistent infection with high titer bacterial loads in both the host (up to 10(5 ...

The Trw type IV secretion system of Bartonella mediates host-specific adhesion to erythrocytes.
PLoS Pathogens, 2010 Bacterial pathogens typically infect only a limited range of hosts; however, the genetic mechanisms governing host-specificity are poorly understood.

696. Bartonella quintana Endocarditis, A Case Series [PDF]
Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2020 Abstract Background Homelessness has been a growing issue in the United States and worldwide. Bartonella quintana, the causative agent of “Trench fever”, is a well known illness among homeless populations in urban centers. While many cases of B. quintana are self limited, the disease can have advanced

Culture-negative endocarditis due to Bartonella quintana
South African Medical Journal, 2016 Bartonella spp. was first described as a possible cause of culture-negative endocarditis in 1993, and has since emerged as a significant cause of this condition worldwide. We describe a complicated case of culture-negative endocarditis in an immune-competent male patient, which was confirmed on resected heart valves to have been caused by Bartonella ...

Five-Member Gene Family of Bartonella quintana [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2003 ABSTRACT Bartonella quintana , the agent of trench fever and an etiologic agent of bacillary angiomatosis, has an extraordinarily high hemin requirement for growth compared to other bacterial pathogens. We previously identified the major hemin receptor of the pathogen as a 30-kDa surface protein, termed HbpA.

Hemin-Binding Surface Protein from Bartonella quintana [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2000 ABSTRACT Bartonella quintana , the agent of trench fever and a cause of endocarditis and bacillary angiomatosis in humans, has the highest reported in vitro hemin requirement for any bacterium. We determined that eight membrane-associated proteins from B.
