<i>Bartonella</i> -associated endothelial proliferation depends on inhibition of apoptosis

Abstract excerpt

Bartonella is a Gram-negative pathogen that is unique among bacteria in being able to induce angioproliferative lesions. Cultured human endothelial cells have provided an in vitro system in which to study the basis of angioproliferation. Previous studies have attributed the organism's ability to induce angioproliferative lesions to direct mitotic stimulation of endothelial cells by these bacteria. Here we show...
