Most\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n spp. have adapted to a specific host, generally a domestic or wild mammal. Dromedary camels (\n Camelus dromedarius<\/jats:italic>\n ) have become a focus of growing public-health interest because they have been identified as a reservoir host for the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus. Nevertheless, data on camel zoonoses are limited. We aimed to study the occurrence of\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n bacteremia among dromedaries in Israel. Nine of 51 (17.6%) camels were found to be bacteremic with\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n spp.; bacteremia levels ranged from five to >1000 colony-forming units\/mL. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on the concatenated sequences of\n glt<\/jats:italic>\n A and\n rpo<\/jats:italic>\n B genes demonstrated that the dromedary\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n isolates are closely related to other ruminant-derived\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n spp., with\n B. bovis<\/jats:italic>\n being the nearest relative. Using electron microscopy, the novel isolates were shown to be flagellated, whereas\n B. bovis<\/jats:italic>\n is nonflagellated. Sequence comparisons analysis of the housekeeping genes\n fts<\/jats:italic>\n Z,\n rib<\/jats:italic>\n C, and\n gro<\/jats:italic>\n EL showed the highest homology to\n B. chomelii<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n B. capreoli<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n B. birtlesii<\/jats:italic>\n , respectively. Sequence analysis of the\n glt<\/jats:italic>\n A and\n rpo<\/jats:italic>\n B revealed \u223c96% identity to\n B. bovis<\/jats:italic>\n , a previously suggested cutoff value for sequence-based differentiation of\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n spp., suggesting that this approach does not have sufficient discriminatory power for differentiating ruminant-related\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n spp. A comprehensive multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis based on nine genetic loci (\n glt<\/jats:italic>\n A\n , rpo<\/jats:italic>\n B,\n fts<\/jats:italic>\n Z, internal transcribed spacer (ITS), 16S rRNA,\n rib<\/jats:italic>\n C,\n gro<\/jats:italic>\n EL,\n nuo<\/jats:italic>\n G, and SsrA) identified seven sequence types of the new dromedary isolates. This is the first description of a\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n sp. from camelids. On the basis of a distinct reservoir and ecological niche, sequence analyses, and expression of flagella, we designate these isolates as a novel\n Bartonella<\/jats:italic>\n sp. named\n Bartonella dromedarii<\/jats:italic>\n sp. nov. Further studies are required to explore its zoonotic potential.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/vbz.2014.1663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,19]],"date-time":"2014-11-19T23:54:30Z","timestamp":1416441270000},"page":"775-782","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Bartonella dromedarii<\/i>\n sp. nov.
