ABSTRACTBacteremia with fever due to a novel subspecies of Bartonella vinsoniiwas found in a cattle rancher. The subspecies shared major characteristics of the genus Bartonellain terms of most biochemical features and cellular fatty acid profile, but it was distinguishable from other subspecies of B. vinsoniiby good growth on heart infusion agar supplemented with X factor and by its pattern of enzymatic hydrolysis of peptide substrates. DNA relatedness studies verified that the isolate belonged to the genusBartonellaand that it was genotypically related toB. vinsonii. The highest level of relatedness was observed with recently characterized strains from naturally infected mice that were coinfected with Borrelia burgdorferiand Babesia microti. We propose the name Bartonella vinsoniisubsp. arupensissubsp. nov. as the new subspecies to accommodate these human and murine isolates. |
