2002 journal article

Bartonella henselae and Bartonella elizabethae as Potential Canine Pathogens

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 40(12), 4670–4674.

By: A. Mexas n, S. Hancock n & E. Breitschwerdt n

MeSH headings : Animals; Bartonella / classification; Bartonella / genetics; Bartonella / isolation & purification; Bartonella / pathogenicity; Bartonella Infections / microbiology; Bartonella Infections / veterinary; Bartonella henselae / classification; Bartonella henselae / genetics; Bartonella henselae / isolation & purification; Bartonella henselae / pathogenicity; Blood Specimen Collection / methods; DNA, Bacterial / blood; Dog Diseases / microbiology; Dogs; Edetic Acid; Female; Male; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Sequence Analysis, DNA
TL;DR: DNA from EDTA-anticoagulated blood samples obtained from four dogs was amplified and sequenced and showed that B. elizabethae should be added to the list of Bartonella species, and may have potential zoonotic implications, particularly if dogs can serve as a previously unrecognized reservoir for B. henselae.
