Duke criteria-negative endocarditis caused by Bartonella quintana.

, 1999
Bartonella spp. were recently recognized as causative agents of culture-negative endocarditis. Molecular techniques, such as broad-range PCR, are now available to detect fastidious or slow-growing microorganisms, or those which cannot be cultured.

Molecular investigation of Bartonella infection among immunocompromised patients in Iran

New Microbes and New Infections
Background: Bartonella infections are emerging zoonotic pathogens, primarily transmitted through arthropod vectors or direct contact with animals. Immunocompromised individuals are at increased risk of developing severe complications.

Hemin-Binding Surface Protein from Bartonella Quintana [PDF]

, 2000
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. quintana

Bartonella quintana in head lice from Senegal

, 2012
Head and body lice are strict, obligate human ectoparasites with three mitochondrial clades (A, B, and C). Body lice have been implicated as vectors of human diseases, and as the principal vectors of epidemic typhus, relapsing fever, and Bartonella ...
