Semiquantitative Species-Specific Detection of Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana by PCR-Enzyme Immunoassay
1 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
Bartonella henselae is the main causative agent of cat-scratch disease, and both B. henselae and Bartonella quintana cause angioproliferative disorders such as bacillary angiomatosis. To increase the sensitivity of Bartonella detection by PCR and to improve the species differentiation, we developed a semiquantitative, species-specific PCR-based enzyme immunoassay (EIA). The 16S rRNA gene was selected as the...
