Since the reclassification of the genus Bartonella in 1993, the number of species has grown
from 1 to 45 currently designated members. Likewise, the association of different Bartonella …

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

The α‐proteobacterial genus Bartonella comprises a large number of facultative intracellular
pathogens that share a common lifestyle hallmarked by hemotrophic infection and arthropod …

Highlights•Bartonella effector proteins are essential for the primary stages of infection,
including dissemination from the dermal site of inoculation to the blood stream.•Bartonella …

In this review we examine the use of secretion systems by bacteria to subvert host functions.
Bacteria have evolved multiple systems to interact with and overcome their eukaryotic host …

Bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular pathogens that infect a wide range of mammalian
hosts including humans. The VirB/VirD4 type IV secretion system (T4SS) is a key virulence …

The G ram‐negative, zoonotic pathogen B artonella henselae is the aetiological agent of cat
scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis and peliosis hepatis in humans. Two pathogenicity …

Background The TIR domain-containing proteins BtpA/Btp1/TcpB and BtpB are translocated
into host cells by the facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen Brucella. Here, they interfere …

Bartonellae are Gram-negative facultative-intracellular pathogens that use a type-IV-
secretion system (T4SS) to translocate a cocktail of Bartonella effector proteins (Beps) into …
