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 …

Many bacterial pathogens employ multicomponent protein complexes to deliver
macromolecules directly into their eukaryotic host cell to promote infection. Some Gram …

The endothelium lining blood and lymphatic vessels is a key barrier separating body fluids
from host tissues and is a major target of pathogenic bacteria. Endothelial cells are actively …

Bartonella bacilliformis is the bacterial agent of Carrión's disease and is presumed to be
transmitted between humans by phlebotomine sand flies. Carrión's disease is endemic to …

After 2 decades of Bartonella research, knowledge on transmission and pathology of these
bacteria is still limited. Bartonella spp. have emerged to be important pathogens in human …

To more accurately study the complex mechanisms behind cancer invasion, progression,
and response to treatment, researchers require models that replicate both the multicellular …

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

Adaptive radiation is the rapid origination of multiple species from a single ancestor as the
result of concurrent adaptation to disparate environments. This fundamental evolutionary …

The obligatory intracellular bacterial pathogens Anaplasma and Ehrlichia infect leukocytes
