This study was conducted to explicate the mechanism of long‐term bacteremia in Bartonella
henselae‐infected cats by the examining host immune responses. Blood samples were …

Bartonella henselae expresses pili phenotypically similar to type 4 pili. B. henselae pilus
expression undergoes phase variation with multiple passages. Low-passage-number …

Abstract Infections with Bartonella (Rochalimaea) henselae can result in a variety of clinical
entities, including bacillary angiomatosis in immunocompromised hosts. The fastidious …

▪ 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 …

Members of the genus Bartonella are considered to be agents of emerging infectious
diseases. They are gram-negative, arthropod-borne intracellular pathogens and are …

Six cats were inoculated with Bartonella henselae strains A and B, which were isolated from
the same naturally infected cat. The numbers of CD4+ cells decreased following the …

Bartonella quintana, an emerging gram-negative pathogen, may cause trench fever,
endocarditis, cerebral abscess and bacillary angiomatosis usually with the absence of septic …

Bartonella quintana is an epi-and intracellular gram-negative rod responsible for both acute
and chronic clinical manifestations. We review the literature about pathogenic mechanisms …

Bartonella quintana and Bartonella henselae are fastidious gram-negative bacteria
responsible for bacillary angiomatosis, trench fever, cat scratch disease, and endocarditis …

Background—Bartonella species are the only known bacterial pathogens causing
vasculoproliferative disorders in humans (bacillary angiomatosis [BA]). Cellular and …
