Source File
No 16S genes were sequenced for this strain. This bacterium (isolated from Eratyrus mucronatus) was characterized by sequencing fragments of the ftsZ, gltA and rpoB genes. Depending on the targeted gene, this agent shares 84% to 91% of identity with B. bacilliformis, the agent of Carrion's disease, a deadly sandfly-borne infectious disease endemic in South America. It is also closely related to animal pathogens such as B. bovis and B. chomelii. (Laroche et al. 2017)
