The Genus Bartonella

  • Reference work entry
The Prokaryotes

Phylogeny

Bartonella species share many general characteristics. Members of the genus are small (approximately 0.3 µm × 1 µm), Gram-negative, pleomorphic coccobacilli. The bacteria are facultative intracellular pathogens, many of which employ hemotrophy (infection of erythrocytes) as a parasitic strategy. All members of the genus are notoriously fastidious and grow slowly in vitro. Bartonella species have been shown to infect a variety of mammalian hosts, and at least three species (B. bacilliformis, B. henselae and B. quintana) are relatively common human pathogens. Vector-mediated transmission is another common theme within the genus. Bartonella spp. are typically transmitted between mammalian hosts by arthropods, with each bacterial species transmitted by a particular insect vector. Reservoirs for Bartonella spp. include a diverse array of mammals.

Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, members of the genus Bartonella fall into the α-2 subgroup of the Proteobacteria (O’Connor...
