Abstract: Bartonella bacilliformis causes life-threatening bacteremia or dermal eruption known as Carrion’s disease in South America. During infection, B. bacilliformis promotes endothelial cell proliferation and the angiogenic process, but the underlying molecular mechanism has not been… read more here.
