| bartonella bovis bermond et al. sp. nov. and bartonella capreoli sp. nov., isolated from european ruminants. | two novel species of bartonella isolated from european ruminants are described. bartonella capreoli sp. nov. was isolated from the blood of roe-deer (capreolus capreolus) captured in chizé, france. the type strain is ibs 193t (= cip 106691t = ccug 43827t). it is distinct from another european ruminant isolate that originated from a cow from a french herd of 430 dairy cattle. the latter isolate belongs to a novel species named bartonella bovis bermond et al. sp. nov. the type strain is strain 91- ... | 2002 | 11931146 |
| isolation of bartonella capreoli from elk. | the aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of bartonella infections in elk populations. we report the isolation of four bartonella strains from 55 elk blood samples. sequencing analysis demonstrated that all four strains belong to bartonella capreoli, a bacterium that was originally described in the wild roe deer of europe. our finding first time demonstrated that b. capreoli has a wide geographic range, and that elk may be another host for this bacterium. further investigation ... | 2010 | 20961711 |
| development of a novel genus-specific real-time pcr assay for detection and differentiation of bartonella species and genotypes. | the genus bartonella includes numerous species with varied host associations, including several that infect humans. development of a molecular diagnostic method capable of detecting the diverse repertoire of bartonella species while maintaining genus specificity has been a challenge. we developed a novel real-time pcr assay targeting a 301-bp region of the ssra gene of bartonella and demonstrated specific amplification in over 30 bartonella species, subspecies, and strains. subsequent analysis o ... | 2012 | 22378904 |
