Abstract
The unique virulence factors of Bartonella spp make them stealth pathogens that evade the immune system and cause persistent infections that are often difficult to diagnose and treat. Understanding these pathogenic mechanisms allows clinicians to recognize when to pursue diagnostics, how to optimize diagnostic testing and treatment, and ultimately can lead to improved outcomes.
