2012 journal article

Infection of human brain vascular pericytes (HBVPs) by Bartonella henselae

Medical Microbiology and Immunology, 202(2), 143–151.

By: M. Varanat n, R. Maggi n , K. Linder n & E. Breitschwerdt n 

author keywords: Blood vessels; Bacteria; Cytokines; Vascular endothelial growth factor; Pericyte coverage
MeSH headings : Angiomatosis, Bacillary / metabolism; Angiomatosis, Bacillary / microbiology; Apoptosis; Bartonella henselae / physiology; Brain / metabolism; Brain / microbiology; Brain / pathology; Cell Proliferation; Cells, Cultured; Humans; Pericytes / metabolism; Pericytes / microbiology; Pericytes / ultrastructure; Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A / biosynthesis
TL;DR: After infecting human brain vascular pericytes with Bartonella henselae, it was found that these bacteria were able to invade HBVPs and that bacterial infection resulted in decreased pericyte proliferation and increased pericyter production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) when compared to the uninfected control cells.

Bartonella spp. DNA in Cardiac Tissues from Dogs in Colorado and Wyoming

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 25(3), 613–616.

By: A. Fenimore*, M. Varanat n, R. Maggi n , P. Schultheiss*, E. Breitschwerdt n  & M. Lappin *

author keywords: Bartonella species; Blood cultures; Polymerase chain reaction assays
