In the published article, there was an error in the section Infection of endothelial cells (ECs),
paragraph 1. The citation in “Bartonella species have been found to inhabit various host …

Although there is evidence that endothelial cells are important targets for human pathogenic
Bartonella species, the primary niche of infection is unknown. Here we elucidated whether …

Bartonellae are considered to be emerging opportunistic pathogens. The bacteria are
transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods, and their hosts are a wide range of mammals …

Bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular pathogens that employ a unique stealth infection
strategy comprising immune evasion and modulation, intimate interaction with nucleated …

Bartonella spp. are Gram-negative facultative intracellular pathogens that infect diverse
mammals and cause a long-lasting intra-erythrocytic bacteremia in their natural host. These …

Until recently, there were only two recognised human diseases caused by Bartonella spp.:
trench fever due to B. quintana and Carrion's disease due to B. bacilliformis. Since then …

▪ Abstract The genus Bartonella comprises several important human pathogens that cause a
wide range of clinical manifestations: cat-scratch disease, trench fever, Carrión's disease …

Adhesion to host cells represents the first step in the infection process and one of the
decisive features in the pathogenicity of Bartonella spp. B. henselae and B. quintana are …

Bartonellae are arthropod-borne bacterial pathogens that typically cause persistent infection
of erythrocytes and endothelial cells in their mammalian hosts. In human infection, these …

Until recently, there were only two known human diseases due to Bartonella species. The
