Bartonella Infections
''Bartonella'' is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. It is the only genus in the family Bartonellaceae. Facultative intracellular parasites, ''Bartonella'' species can infect healthy people, but are considered especially important as opportunistic pathogens. ''Bartonella'' species are transmitted by vectors such as ticks, fleas, sand flies, and mosquitoes. At least eight ''Bartonella'' species or subspecies are known to infect humans. '' Bartonella henselae'' is the organism responsible for cat scratch disease. History ''Bartonella'' species have been infecting humans for thousands of years, as demonstrated by '' Bartonella quintana'' DNA in a 4000-year-old tooth. The genus is named for Alberto Leonardo Barton Thompson (1871–October 26, 1950), a Peruvian scientist. Infection cycle The currently accepted model explaining the infection cycle holds that the transmitting vectors are blood-sucking arthropods and the reservoir hosts are mammals.

Marian Gieszczykiewicz
Marian Teodor Ludwik Gieszczykiewicz (born 21 May 1889 in Kraków, Austria-Hungary - 21 July 1942 in Auschwitz.) was a Polish physician, bacteriologist. Gieszczykiewicz was professor at the Jagiellonian University starting in 1924 and member of the Polish Academy of Skills. During the German occupation he taught at the so-called "Secret Universities". He was imprisoned in the German concentration camp Auschwitz. Gerhard Palitzsch Gerhard Palitzsch (17 June 1913 – 7 December 1944) was a German Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) of the SS.

Bartonella Henselae
''Bartonella henselae'', formerly ''Rochalimæa henselae'', is a bacterium that is the causative agent of cat-scratch disease ( bartonellosis). ''Bartonella henselae'' is a member of the genus ''Bartonella'', one of the most common types of bacteria in the world. It is a facultative intracellular microbe that targets red blood cells. One study showed it invaded the mature blood cells of humans. It infects the host cell by sticking to it using trimeric autotransporter adhesins. In the United States, about 22,000 people(per year?)are diagnosed, most under the age of 20. Most often, it is transmitted from kittens. Diagnosis ''Bartonella henselae'' is a Gram-negative rod. It can be cultured in a lysis-centrifugation blood culture. The presence of bacteria can be detected by Warthin-Starry stain, or by a similar silver stain technique performed on infected tissue. The specific name ''henselae'' honors Diane Marie Hensel (b. 1953), a clinical microbiology technologist at University ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
