whole-genome analysis of bartonella ancashensis, a novel pathogen causing verruga peruana, rural ancash region, peru.the genus bartonella contains >40 species, and an increasing number of these bartonella species are being implicated in human disease. one such pathogen is bartonella ancashensis, which was isolated in blood samples from 2 patients living in caraz, peru, during a clinical trial of treatment for bartonellosis. three b. ancashensis strains were analyzed by using whole-genome restriction mapping and high-throughput pyrosequencing. genome-wide comparative analysis of bartonella species showed that b ...201728221130
immunosuppressive and angiogenic cytokine profile associated with bartonella bacilliformis infection in post-outbreak and endemic areas of carrion's disease in peru.analysis of immune responses in bartonella bacilliformis carriers are needed to understand acquisition of immunity to carrion's disease and may allow identifying biomarkers associated with bacterial infection and disease phases. serum samples from 144 healthy subjects from 5 villages in the north of peru collected in 2014 were analyzed. four villages had a carrion's disease outbreak in 2013, and the other is a traditionally endemic area. thirty cytokines, chemokines and growth factors were deter ...201728628613
multi-locus sequence typing of bartonella bacilliformis dna performed directly from blood of patients with oroya's fever during a peruvian outbreak.bartonella bacilliformis is the etiological agent of carrion's disease, a neglected tropical poverty-linked illness. this infection is endemic of andean regions and it is estimated that approximately 1.7 million of south americans are at risk. this bacterium is a fastidious slow growing microorganism, which is difficult and cumbersome to isolate from clinical sources, thereby hindering the availability of phylogenetic relationship of clinical samples. the aim of this study was to perform multi l ...201626824740
development and characterisation of highly antibiotic resistant bartonella bacilliformis mutants.the objective was to develop and characterise in vitro bartonella bacilliformis antibiotic resistant mutants. three b. bacilliformis strains were plated 35 or 40 times with azithromycin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin or rifampicin discs. resistance-stability was assessed performing 5 serial passages without antibiotic pressure. mics were determined with/without phe-arg-β-napthylamide and artesunate. target alterations were screened in the 23s rrna, rpld, rplv, gyra, gyrb, parc, pare and rpob ge ...201627667026
mutation-driven divergence and convergence indicate adaptive evolution of the intracellular human-restricted pathogen, bartonella bacilliformis.among all species of bartonella, human-restricted bartonella bacilliformis is the most virulent but harbors one of the most reduced genomes. carrión's disease, the infection caused by b. bacilliformis, has been afflicting poor rural populations for centuries in the high-altitude valleys of the south american andes, where the pathogen's distribution is probably restricted by its sand fly vector's range. importantly, carrión's disease satisfies the criteria set by the world health organization for ...201627167125
