Query: NC_012846:1741000 Bartonella grahamii as4aup, complete genome

Lineage: Bartonella grahamii; Bartonella; Bartonellaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Bartonella grahamii (strain as4aup) is Gram-negative bacterium isolated from a wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) in central Sweden. Bartonella are human and animal pathogens which infect erythrocytes and can cause angiogenic lesions. These organisms cause diseases in humans such as Oroya fever, Trench fever, endocarditis, and Cat Scratch disease. Transmission of this organism is via the bite of a blood-sucking arthropod. Bartonella grahamii can be isolated from the blood of rodents and is found world wide. Fleas may be the transmission vector for Bartonella grahamii to other rodents. Human disease appears to be rare and associated with an immunocompromised state.

Subject: NC_014970:530748 Mycoplasma haemofelis str. Langford 1, complete genome

Lineage: Mycoplasma haemofelis; Mycoplasma; Mycoplasmataceae; Mycoplasmatales; Tenericutes; Bacteria

General Information: Mycoplasma haemofelis, formerly Haemobartonella felis, causes an infectious anemia in cats. Antibiotic treatment can control acute infection, although latent infection persists. This disease is most commonly transmitted by infected fleas, however it may also be transmitted from a mother cat to her kittens, and through bites.
