The <i>Bartonella</i> autotransporter CFA is a protective antigen and hypervariable target of neutralizing antibodies blocking erythrocyte infection

Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Antibodies are key to the clearance of Bartonella bacteremia, but the mechanisms and targets of protective antibodies are unknown and bacterial evasion strategies remain elusive. We studied experimental Bartonella taylorii infection of mice, its natural host, and investigated protective immune responses. Clearance of bacteremia depended on specific antibodies that interfere with bacterial attac...
