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 pathogens that employ a unique stealth infection
strategy comprising immune evasion and modulation, intimate interaction with nucleated …

The capacity of pathogenic microorganisms to adhere to host cells and avoid clearance by
the host immune system is the initial and most decisive step leading to infections. Bacteria …

Bartonella spp. are responsible for emerging and re-emerging diseases around the world.
The majority of human infections are caused by Bartonella henselae, Bartonella quintana …

Bartonella henselae causes vasculoproliferative disorders in humans. We identified a
nonfimbrial adhesin of B. henselae designated as Bartonella adhesin A (BadA). BadA is a …

Infectious diseases remain a remarkable health threat for humans and animals. In the past,
