We recovered Bartonella quintana DNA from dental pulp of a domestic cat. This study, the first to detect B. quintana in a nonhuman mammal, changes our understanding of the epidemiology of this infection and proposes that cats may be an emerging source of human infection.
我们从一只家猫的牙髓中检测到五日热巴尔通体DNA。这项首次在非人类哺乳动物中检测到五日热巴尔通体的研究,改变了我们对这种感染流行病学的认识,并表明猫可能是人类感染的一个新来源。
