Porin A and α/β-hydrolase are necessary and sufficient for hemolysis induced by Bartonella bacilliformis [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCarrion’s disease is endemic to the South American Andes and is characterized by fatal hemolytic anemia. This neglected tropical disease is caused by Bartonella bacilliformis, a fastidious and slow-growing pathogen difficult in genetic manipulation.
