Multi-Locus Sequence Typing of Bartonella bacilliformis DNA Performed Directly from Blood of Patients with Oroya’s Fever During a Peruvian Outbreak
BACKGROUND 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 hinderi...
متن کاملWhole Genome Sequencing and Comparative Analysis of Bartonella bacilliformis Strain INS, the Causative Agent of Carrion’s Disease
Bartonella bacilliformis is the etiological agent of human bartonellosis, which is highly endemic to Peru. Here, we report the first genome that was sequenced and analyzed from an isolate of B. bacilliformis strain INS, which originally was isolated from the blood of an infected patient with an acute phase of Carrion's disease from Jaén-Cajamarca, Peru.
متن کاملDiagnosis of Carrion’s Disease by Direct Blood PCR in Thin Blood Smear Negative Samples
Bartonella bacilliformis is the etiologic agent of Carrion's disease. This disease has two well established phases, the most relevant being the so called Oroya Fever, in which B. bacilliformis infect the erythrocytes resulting in severe anemia and transient immunosuppression, with a high lethality in the absence of adequate antibiotic treatment. The presence of B. bacilliformis was studied in 1...
متن کاملThe relationship of Bartonella bacilliformis to the red blood cell as revealed by electron microscopy.
B ARTON’ ( 1905-1900) described the etiologic agent of Oroya Fever as a parasite located within the erythrocytes ( “Barton’s endoglobular bodies” ) . Strong et al.2 ( 1913 ) named the microorganism Bartonella bacilliformis and stated also that it was located within the red cells. Aldana3’4 ( 1929-1947 ) believed that B. bacilliformis was on the red cell, attached to its outer surface. Wigand et...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequencing of Two Bartonella bacilliformis Strains
Bartonella bacilliformis is the causative agent of Carrion's disease, a highly endemic human bartonellosis in Peru. We performed a whole-genome assembly of two B. bacilliformis strains isolated from the blood of infected patients in the acute phase of Carrion's disease from the Cusco and Piura regions in Peru.
