| bartonella rattaustraliani sp. nov., bartonella queenslandensis sp. nov. and bartonella coopersplainsensis sp. nov., identified in australian rats. | a total of 11 bartonella isolates were recovered from the blood of melomys, uromys and rattus species in australia and were characterized using phenotypic and genotypic methods. comparison of 16s rrna gene, ftsz, glta and 16s-23s rrna internal transcribed spacer region sequences from the isolates indicated that they formed three sequence similarity groups that were distinct from one another and from the currently recognized bartonella species. phylogenetic analysis based on alignment of concaten ... | 2009 | 19628592 |
| candidatus bartonella antechini: a novel bartonella species detected in fleas and ticks from the yellow-footed antechinus (antechinus flavipes), an australian marsupial. | bartonella are fastidious, gram-negative, aerobic bacilli belonging to the alphaproteobacteria group. in the last ten years, the discovery of new bartonella species from a variety of mammalian hosts, arthropod vectors and geographical areas has increased. more than 20 species of bartonella have been identified, of which approximately thirteen are associated with disease in humans and animals. recently, four novel species of bartonella were isolated from mammalian hosts in australia: bartonella a ... | 2010 | 21215534 |
| diversity of bartonella species detected in arthropod vectors from animals in australia. | a variety of bartonella species were detected in two species of ticks and three species of fleas collected from marsupial hosts; brush-tailed bettong or woylie (bettongia penicillata) and western barred bandicoots (perameles bougainville) and from a rodent host; rattus fuscipes in western australia. bartonella species were detected using nested-pcr of the glta gene and the 16s-23s ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region (its), and species were characterized using dna sequencing of the 16s r ... | 2011 | 21862131 |
| genome sequence of bartonella rattaustraliani, a bacterium isolated from an australian rat. | bartonella rattaustraliani is a facultative intracellular bacterium isolated from the blood of a rattus sp. in australia. the present study reports the draft genome of b. rattaustraliani strain aust/nh4 (csur b609(t)). | 2012 | 23209252 |
