Analysis of a novel insect cell culture medium-based growth medium for Bartonella species.
Institut für Medizinische Mikrobiologie und Hygiene, Elfriede-Aulhorn-Str. 6, D-72076 Tübingen, Germany.
Human- and animal-pathogenic Bartonella species are fastidious and slow-growing bacteria difficult to isolate and cultivate. We describe a novel, easy-to-prepare liquid medium for the fast and reliable growth of several Bartonella spp. that does not affect bacterial protein expression patterns or interactions with host cells.
