Horizontal Transfers and Gene Losses in the phospholipid pathway of <i>Bartonella</i> reveal clues about early ecological niches

2014-03-17

Abstract excerpt

Bartonellae are mammalian pathogens vectored by blood-feeding arthropods. Although of increasing medical importance, little is known about their ecological past, and host associations are underexplored. Previous studies suggest an influence of horizontal gene transfers in ecological niche colonization by acquisition of host pathogenicity genes. We here expand these analyses to metabolic pathways of 28 Bartonella...
