Bartonella [bahr″to-nel´ah] a genus of bacteria of the family Bartonellaceae, made up of gram-negative cells in chains; it includes B. bacillifor´mis, the etiologic agent of bartonellosis" >bartonellosis (carrión's disease), and B. hen´selae, the etiologic agent of cat-scratch disease" >cat-scratch disease.Bartonella (bar'tō-nel'ă), A genus of bacteria found in humans and in arthropod vectors; grows slowly in artificial media and may be recovered from blood cultures from infected patients; may be seen intracellularly in tissues and erythrocytes. Bartonella is a minute, gram-negative, coccobacillary organism, which may appear curved; it can cause an indolent, poorly defined, progressive disease in immunocompromised patients, including those with HIV infections. [A. L. Barton] Bar·to·nel·la (bahr-tō-nel'ă) A genus of bacteria closely resembling Rickettsia in staining properties, morphology, and mode of transmission between hosts. Organisms usually reside extracellularly in arthropod hosts and intracellularly in mammalian hosts. [A. L. Barton]Barton, Alberto Leopaldo, Peruvian physician, 1871-1950. Bartonella - bacterium transmitted by Andean sandflies, causing bartonellosis.bartonellosis - infection with Bartonella bacilliformis causing acute febrile illness followed by benign skin eruptions.Bar·to·nel·la (bahr-tō-nel'ă) A genus of bacteria found in humans and in arthropod vectors; grows slowly in artificial media and may be recovered from blood cultures from infected patients; a minute, gram-negative, coccobacillary organism; can cause an indolent, poorly defined, progressive disease in immunocompromised patients, including those with HIV infections.
