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:

TL;DR: A 27-year-old female veterinarian experienced migraine headaches, seizures, including status epilepticus, and other neurological and neurocognitive abnormalities during her illness, and had frequent exposure to arthropod vectors and near daily contact with persistently bacteremic reservoir hosts.

TL;DR: It is concluded that dogs in this study population were infrequently exposed to or infected with a Bartonella species, genetically similar to strains isolated from septicemic cats, dogs, coyotes and human beings from other parts of the world.

TL;DR: Results of this study indicate that dogs from Grenada are infected with multipletick-borne pathogens; therefore, tick-borne diseases should be included as differentials for dogs exhibiting thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, fever, or lethargy.

Bartonella interactions with endothelial cells and erythrocytes
TL;DR: Endothelial interactions involve a unique mode of cellular invasion, the activation of a proinflammatory phenotype and the formation of vasoproliferative tumours in bartonellae.
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
Intraerythrocytic presence of Bartonella henselae.
TL;DR: Transmission electron microscopy is used to demonstrate B. henselae in the erythrocytes of persistently bacteremic cats and shows the high degree of prevalence of asymptomatic feline infection with Bartonella (Rochalimaea) henselai.

Genetic and ecologic characteristics of Bartonella communities in rodents in southern China.
TL;DR: The finding of Bartonella species in a high proportion of the rodent samples from Yunnan suggests the need to investigate whether these agents might be responsible for cases of febrile illnesses of unknown etiology in southern China and elsewhere in southeastern Asia.
