Most infections by genus Bartonella in immunocompromised patients are caused by B.
henselae and B. quintana. Unlike immunocompetent hosts who usually develop milder …

Bartonella henselae can infect humans resulting in a wide range of disease syndromes
including cat-scratch disease, fever with bacteremia, endocarditis, bacillary angiomatosis …

“I have, on many occasions, examined normal blood and normal tissues using methods that
ensure that such organisms are not overlooked, and I have never, in a single instance, found …

The hallmark of Bartonella infection is long-lasting intraerythrocytic parasitism. However, the
process of Bartonella bacteremia is still enigmatic. In the current study, we used Bartonella …

Bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular bacteria that typically cause a long-lasting
intraerythrocytic bacteremia in their mammalian reservoir hosts, thereby favoring …

Bartonella infection can be difficult to diagnose, especially when it manifests as bacteremia,
which is usually accompanied by nonspecific symptoms, such as fever. Therefore, we …

Members of the genus Bartonella (formerly Rochalimaea) were virtually unknown to modern-
day clinicians and microbiologists until they were associated with opportunistic infections in …

Bartonella spp. are emerging vector‐borne pathogens that cause persistent, often
asymptomatic bacteremia in their natural hosts. As our knowledge progresses, it appears …

Historically, Bartonella spp. have been associated with febrile illness (Oroya fever, trench
fever, and cat scratch disease), endocarditis (numerous Bartonella spp.), and …

Bartonella species have been recognized as important human pathogens only recently.
Until the early 1990s, this genus was represented by one species, Bartonella bacilliformis …
