Abstract:Bartonella
spp. are bacteria responsible for neglected diseases worldwide.
Bartonella henselae
is the species most associated with human infections. It is associated with a large spectrum of clinical manifestations and is potentially fatal. The identification of
Bartonella
spp. is considered a challenge in clinical routine. These bacteria are fastidious, and the time required to isolate them varies from one to six weeks. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry has e… Show more
