Descriptor Bartonella
Entry term(s) Rochalimaea
Scope note: Género de bacterias gramnegativas que se distribuyen de modo característico constituyendo cadenas de varios organismos segmentados. Se encuentran en el hombre y en los vectores artrópodos y se encuentran sólo en la región de los Andes de Sudamérica. Este género es el agente etiológico de la bartonelosis humana. El género Rochalimaea, antiguamente considerado un género distinto, se ha combinado recientemente con el género Bartonella como consecuencia de los elevados niveles de relación en los datos de secuencia del ARNs 16S y de los datos de hibridación del ADN.

Scope note: A genus of gram-negative bacteria characteristically appearing in chains of several segmenting organisms. It occurs in man and arthropod vectors and is found only in the Andes region of South America. This genus is the etiologic agent of human bartonellosis. The genus Rochalimaea, once considered a separate genus, has recently been combined with the genus Bartonella as a result of high levels of relatedness in 16S rRNA sequence data and DNA hybridization data.
