We detected Bartonella in 11 of 109 insectivorous bats from France and 1 of 26 bats from Spain. These genetic variants are closely related to bat-associated Bartonella described in Finland and the United Kingdom and to B. mayotimonensis, the agent of a human endocarditis case in the United States.
我们在来自法国的109只食虫蝙蝠中的11只以及来自西班牙的26只蝙蝠中的1只身上检测到了巴尔通体。这些基因变体与芬兰和英国描述的与蝙蝠相关的巴尔通体以及美国一例人类心内膜炎病例的病原体马约蒂莫内斯巴尔通体密切相关。
