Journal ArticleDOI
A combined approach for the enhanced detection and isolation of Bartonella species in dog blood samples: pre-enrichment liquid culture followed by PCR and subculture onto agar plates.
TL;DR: A multi-faceted approach resulted in substantial improvement in the microbiological detection and isolation of Bartonella when compared to direct inoculation of a blood agar plate, and may assist in the diagnostic confirmation of bartonellosis in dogs and other animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Chemically Modified Liquid Medium That Will Support the Growth of Seven Bartonella Species
TL;DR: A novel, chemically modified, insect-based liquid culture medium is described that supports the growth of at least seven Bartonella species and may provide an advantage over conventional direct blood agar plating for the diagnostic confirmation of bartonellosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bartonella species in blood of immunocompetent persons with animal and arthropod contact.

TL;DR: Using PCR in conjunction with pre-enrichment culture, it is detected Bartonella henselae and B. vinsonii subspecies berkhoffii in the blood of 14 immunocompetent persons who had frequent animal contact and arthropod exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dog as a sentinel for human infection: prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi C6 antibodies in dogs from southeastern and mid-Atlantic states.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that B. burgdorferi transmission seems to occur infrequently in North Carolina dogs as compared to dogs residing in other southeastern and mid-Atlantic states is supported and the utility of dogs as a sentinel to characterize the risk of B. Burgdorferis transmission to humans in a defined geographical location is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bartonella DNA in Dog Saliva
TL;DR: Oral swabs collected from dogs indicated the presence of 4 Bartonella species, transmitted by arthropods or animal bites and scratches, which are emerging pathogens in human and veterinary medicine.
