We monitored by blood culture and immunofluorescence assay (IFA) bartonella infection in one dog and eight cats in a household to determine the prevalence and persistence of the infection as well as its transmissibility to humans. Ectoparasite control was rigorously exercised. During a 3-year period, Bartonella clarridgeiae was recovered from one cat on two occasions, and B. henselae was isolated from another cat on four occasions. During a 16-month period, B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii was isolated from the dog on 8 of 10 culture attempts. Despite extensive household contact, the pet owner was seronegative to all three species by IFA for Bartonella-specific immunoglobulin G.
我们通过血培养和免疫荧光测定法(IFA)监测了一户家庭中一只狗和八只猫的巴尔通体感染情况,以确定感染的患病率和持续性及其对人类的传播性。严格实施了体外寄生虫控制措施。在3年期间,两次从一只猫身上分离出克拉氏巴尔通体,四次从另一只猫身上分离出亨氏巴尔通体。在16个月期间,在10次培养尝试中的8次从狗身上分离出文森氏巴尔通体伯克霍夫亚种。尽管与宠物有广泛的家庭接触,但宠物主人通过IFA检测针对巴尔通体特异性免疫球蛋白G对所有三种菌株均呈血清阴性。
