Whole blood and serum from 93 cats (44 pets and 49 shelter/stray cats) from Denmark were tested for the presence of feline Bartonella species by culture and for the presence of Bartonella antibodies by serology. Bartonella henselae was isolated from 21 (22.6%) cats. Bacteremia prevalence was not statistically different between shelter/stray cats (13/49, 26.5%) and pet cats (8/44, 18.2%), but varied widely by geographical origin of the cats, even after stratification for cat origin or age (p < 0.001). All isolates but one were B. henselae type II. The only cat bacteremic with B. henselae type I was not co-infected with B. henselae type II. None of the cats was harboring either B. clarridgeiae or B. koehlerae. Almost half (42/92, 45.6%) of the cats were seropositive for B. henselae and antibody prevalence was similar in shelter/stray cats (23/49, 46.9%) and pet cats (19/43, 44.2%). This is the first report of isolation of B. henselae from domestic cats in Denmark. This study also indicates that domestic cats, including pet cats, constitute a large Bartonella reservoir in Denmark.
对来自丹麦的93只猫（44只宠物猫和49只收容所/流浪猫）的全血和血清进行了检测，通过培养检测猫巴尔通体属物种的存在情况，并通过血清学检测巴尔通体抗体的存在情况。从21只（22.6%）猫中分离出了汉赛巴尔通体。收容所/流浪猫（13/49，26.5%）和宠物猫（8/44，18.2%）的菌血症患病率在统计学上没有差异，但即使按猫的来源或年龄分层后，猫的菌血症患病率因地理来源差异很大（p<0.001）。除1株外，所有分离株均为汉赛巴尔通体II型。唯一一株感染汉赛巴尔通体I型的菌血症猫未同时感染汉赛巴尔通体II型。没有一只猫携带克拉氏巴尔通体或科氏巴尔通体。几乎一半（42/92，45.6%）的猫汉赛巴尔通体血清学检测呈阳性，收容所/流浪猫（23/49，46.9%）和宠物猫（19/43，44.2%）的抗体患病率相似。这是丹麦首次从家猫中分离出汉赛巴尔通体的报告。这项研究还表明，包括宠物猫在内的家猫在丹麦构成了一个很大的巴尔通体宿主群体。
