A SacB Mutagenesis Strategy Reveals that the Bartonella quintana Variably Expressed Outer Membrane Proteins Are Required for Bloodstream Infection of the Host

Bartonella bacteria adhere to erythrocytes and persistently infect the mammalian bloodstream. We previously identified four highly conserved Bartonella quintana adhesin genes that undergo phase variation during prolonged bloodstream infection. The variably expressed outer membrane proteins (Vomp) en...
