Immediately after the infection, the bacterium colonizes a first niche, the Endothélium. Every 5 days, part of the bacteria is released in blood. where they infect the érythrocyte S.

at the man

There exists nearly 19 species of Bartonella , ten being pathogenic for the man, three more frequent being Bartonella henselae , Bartonella quintana and Bartonella bacilliformis .
