Bartonellaceae Infections
''Bartonella'' is a genus of Gram-negative bacterium, bacteria. It is the only genus in the family Bartonellaceae. Facultative parasite, Facultative intracellular parasites, ''Bartonella'' species can infect healthy people, but are considered especially important as Opportunistic infection, opportunistic pathogens. ''Bartonella'' species are transmitted by Vector (epidemiology), vectors such as fleas, Phlebotominae, sand flies, and mosquitoes. At least eight ''Bartonella'' species or subspecies are known to infect humans. ''Bartonella henselae'' is the organism responsible for cat scratch disease. History ''Bartonella'' species have been infecting humans for thousands of years, as demonstrated by ''Bartonella quintana'' DNA in a 4000-year-old tooth. The genus is named for Alberto Barton, Alberto Leonardo Barton Thompson (1871–October 26, 1950), a Peruvian scientist.

Marian Gieszczykiewicz
Marian Teodor Ludwik Gieszczykiewicz (born 21 May 1889 in Kraków, Austria-Hungary – 21 July 1942 in Auschwitz) was a Polish physician and bacteriologist. Gieszczykiewicz was professor at the Jagiellonian University starting in 1924 and member of the Polish Academy of Skills. During the Germany, German occupation he taught at the so-called "Secret Universities". He was imprisoned in the Germany, German concentration camp Auschwitz. Gerhard Palitzsch assassinated him on 31 July 1942.

Bartonella Henselae
''Bartonella henselae'', formerly ''Rochalimæa henselae'', is a bacterium that is the causative agent of cat-scratch disease ( bartonellosis). It primarily infects red blood cells and endothelial cells and is transmitted to humans through scratches, bites, or flea vectors associated with domestic and feral cats. ''Bartonella henselae'' is a member of the genus '' Bartonella'', one of the most common types of bacteria in the world. It is a facultative intracellular microbe that targets red blood cells. In the United States, about 20,000 cases are diagnosed each year, most under 15 years old. Most often, it is transmitted by scratches or bites from kittens. Higher prevalence is reported in warm, humid climates where flea infestations are more common. History The specific name ''henselae'' honors Diane Marie Hensel (b. 1953), a clinical microbiology technologist at University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, who collected numerous strains and samples of the infective agent duri ...
