Two Bartonella strains from blood of two wild rats (Rattus norvegicus) living in a rural environment were isolated. These strains were distinct from all previously known Bartonella species based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. This new species is distinguished by its trypsin-like activity, the absence of the ability to hydrolyse proline and tributyrin, its 16S rRNA and citrate synthase gene sequences and by whole-DNA hybridization data. This new species, for which the name Bartonella tribocorum sp. nov. is proposed, seems to be genetically related to Bartonella elizabethae, an agent isolated in a case of human endocarditis. The type strain of Bartonella tribocorum sp. nov. is IBS 506T (CIP 105476T).
从生活在乡村环境中的两只野生褐家鼠(Rattus norvegicus)血液中分离出两株巴尔通体菌株。基于表型和基因型特征,这些菌株与所有先前已知的巴尔通体物种不同。这个新物种的特点是具有类胰蛋白酶活性、缺乏水解脯氨酸和三丁酸甘油酯的能力、其16S rRNA和柠檬酸合酶基因序列以及全DNA杂交数据。这个新物种被命名为巴尔通体三博考瑞种(Bartonella tribocorum sp. nov.),似乎在基因上与伊丽莎白巴尔通体(Bartonella elizabethae)相关,后者是从一例人类心内膜炎病例中分离出的病原体。巴尔通体三博考瑞种的模式菌株是IBS 506T(CIP 105476T)。
