| isolation of a new subspecies, bartonella vinsonii subsp. arupensis, from a cattle rancher: identity with isolates found in conjunction with borrelia burgdorferi and babesia microti among naturally infected mice. | bacteremia with fever due to a novel subspecies of bartonella vinsonii was found in a cattle rancher. the subspecies shared major characteristics of the genus bartonella in terms of most biochemical features and cellular fatty acid profile, but it was distinguishable from other subspecies of b. vinsonii by good growth on heart infusion agar supplemented with x factor and by its pattern of enzymatic hydrolysis of peptide substrates. dna relatedness studies verified that the isolate belonged to th ... | 1999 | 10405408 |
| phylogenetic position of bartonella vinsonii subsp. arupensis based on 16s rdna and glta gene sequences. | the nucleotide sequences of the genes encoding 16s rrna and citrate synthase (glta) from a recently described member of the genus bartonella, bartonella vinsonii subsp. arupensis, isolated from mice and from the blood of a patient suffering from bacteraemia, were determined and compared with sequences of the 16s rdna and glta genes of other members of the genus bartonella in order to determine its relative phylogenetic position. b. vinsonii subsp. arupensis appeared to be closely related to b. v ... | 2001 | 11211257 |
| phylogenetic classification of bartonella species by comparing groel sequences. | bartonella is a bacterial genus classified in the alpha-proteobacteria on the basis of 165 rdna sequence comparison. the highly conserved heat-shock chaperonin protein, groel, has proved to be a valuable resolving tool to classify ten bartonella species. the groel gene was amplified and sequenced from ten bartonella isolates: bartonella alsatica, bartonella vinsonii subsp. arupensis, bartonella taylorii, bartonella tribocorum, bartonella birtlesii, bartonella henselae marseille (urlly8), b. hens ... | 2002 | 11837299 |
| genetic classification and differentiation of bartonella species based on comparison of partial ftsz gene sequences. | currently, 19 species are recognized in the genus bartonella, 7 of which are involved in an increasing variety of human diseases. development of molecular tools for detection, identification, and subtyping of strains and isolates has promoted research on bartonella spp. we amplified and sequenced the portion of the ftsz gene encoding the n-terminal region of the cell division protein for 13 bartonella species: bartonella alsatica, b. birtlesii, b. doshiae, b. elizabethae, b. grahami, b. koehlera ... | 2002 | 12354859 |
| bartonella vinsonii subsp. arupensis as an agent of blood culture-negative endocarditis in a human. | we report the case of a patient hospitalized with endocarditis. the etiological diagnosis of bartonella was suggested by detection of high titers of antibodies by immunofluorescence and western blotting. two different nested pcrs performed on sera identified bartonella vinsonii subsp. arupensis by sequencing. | 2005 | 15695714 |
| the bartonella vinsonii subsp. arupensis immunodominant surface antigen brpa gene, encoding a 382-kilodalton protein composed of repetitive sequences, is a member of a multigene family conserved among bartonella species. | bartonella proteins that elicit an antibody response during an infection are poorly defined; therefore, to characterize antigens recognized by the host, a bartonella genomic expression library was screened with serum from an infected mouse. this process led to the discovery of a bartonella vinsonii subsp. arupensis gene encoding a 382-kda protein, part of a gene family encoding large proteins, each containing multiple regions of repetitive segments. the genes were termed brpa to -c (bartonella r ... | 2005 | 15845521 |
| persistent infection or successive reinfection of deer mice with bartonella vinsonii subsp. arupensis. | bartonella infections are common in rodents. from 1994 to 2006, longitudinal studies of a rodent community, consisting mainly of deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus), were conducted in southwestern colorado to study hantaviruses. blood samples from deer mice captured one or more times during the period 2003 to 2006 (n = 737) were selected to study bartonellae in deer mice. bartonellae were found to be widely distributed in that population, with an overall prevalence of 82.4% (607/737 mice). no cor ... | 2011 | 21239553 |
