Phylogenetic relationships among the agent of bacillary angiomatosis, <i>Bartonella bacilliformis</i>, and other alpha‐proteobacteria

Abstract excerpt

Bacillary angiomatosis (BA) and chronic bartonellosis are bacterial infections of humans which result in an unusual vascular proliferative tissue response. In order to determine their phylogenetic relationships, we have determined greater than 95% of the 16S rRNA sequences for these two organisms by amplification directly from infected BA tissue and from a Bartonella bacilliformis lyophilized culture. The BA...
