Query: NC_005955:1166521 Bartonella quintana str. Toulouse, complete genome

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

General Information: Bartonella quintana str. Toulouse was isolated from human blood in Toulouse, France in 1993. Causative agent of trench fever. This group of alpha proteobacteria are unique among pathogens in that they cause angiogenic lesions. This organism was first identified as the causative agent of louse-born trench fever during World War I. Up to 800 000 were infected in the trenches because of the louse insect vector that was widespread due to poor sanitation. The disease is now found associated with immunocompromized patients, especially HIV patients and homeless alcoholics.

Lineage: Cyclobacterium marinum; Cyclobacterium; Cyclobacteriaceae; Cytophagales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: Coelomic fluid of a sand dollar; Temp: Mesophile. Gram-negative bacterium isolated from coelomic fluid of a sand dollarfish (Poronotus triacanthus) of the family Stromateidae (butterfish family), a family of fishes with almost circular bodies and small mouths. The dollarfish (genus Peprilus), is found from Maine to South Carolina, USA during the summer.
