TLDR
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.About:

Bartonella Species Bacteremia in Two Patients with Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma
Patricia E. Mascarelli,Jonathan R. Iredell,Ricardo G. Maggi,Guy L. Weinberg,Edward B. Breitschwerdt +4 more
TL;DR: Chronic Bartonella infection could have a role in the development of this vascular neoplasm, considering the biology and clinically variable natural history of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.

PCR amplification of Bartonella koehlerae from human blood and enrichment blood cultures
Edward B. Breitschwerdt,Ricardo G. Maggi,B. Robert Mozayeni,Barbara C. Hegarty,Julie M. Bradley,Patricia E. Mascarelli +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that B. koehlerae bacteremia is more common in immunocompetent people than has been previously suspected.

Molecular Evidence of Perinatal Transmission of Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and Bartonella henselae to a Child
TL;DR: DNA of both organisms was amplified and sequenced from blood, enrichment blood cultures, or autopsy tissues from four family members and historical and microbiological results support perinatal transmission of Bartonella species in this family.
CASE REPORTS Molecular Evidence of Perinatal Transmission of Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and Bartonella henselae to a Child
TL;DR: In this article, the DNA of Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and henselae was amplified and sequenced from blood, enrichment blood cultures, or autopsy tissues from four family members.

Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a novel Rochalimaea species, R. henselae sp. nov., isolated from blood of a febrile, human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient.
Russell L. Regnery,Burt E. Anderson,J E Clarridge,Maria C. Rodriguez-Barradas,D C Jones,J H Carr +5 more
TL;DR: Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that the agent is closely related to members of the genus Rochalimaea and that the isolate is genotypically identical to the presumptive etiologic agent of bacillary angiomatosis.

Bartonella Infection in Animals: Carriership, Reservoir Potential, Pathogenicity, and Zoonotic Potential for Human Infection
TL;DR: Considering the extensive animal reservoirs and the large number of insects that have been implicated in the transmission of Bartonella spp.

Bartonella Spp. in Pets and Effect on Human Health
TL;DR: Pets represent a large reservoir for human infection and can be a source of infection for humans and animals alike.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors associated with the rapid emergence of zoonotic Bartonella infections.
TL;DR: The factors associated with the emergence of these zoonotic pathogens, including better diagnostic tools and methods to identify these fastidious bacteria, host immunosuppression, the interaction of co-infection by several infectious agents that may enhanced the pathogenecity of these bacteria, increased outdoor activity leading to exposure to wildlife reservoirs or vectors, poverty and low income associated with infestation by various ectoparasites, and finally the dispersal of Bartonellae around the world are reviewed.

TL;DR: Nine strains of Rochalimaea spp.
