A human factor H-binding protein of <i>Bartonella bacilliformis</i> and potential role in serum resistance

2021-04-14

Abstract excerpt

Bartonella bacilliformis is a Gram-negative bacterium and etiologic agent of Carrión’s disease; a potentially life-threatening illness endemic to South America. B. bacilliformis is a facultative parasite that infects human erythrocytes (hemotrophism) and the circulatory system, culminating in a variety of symptoms, including a precipitous drop in hematocrit, angiomatous lesions of the skin (verruga peruana) and p...
