Cat Scratch (Bartonella henselae)
The causative bacterial agent of cat scratch disease has been identified as Bartonella henselae. In the past, complicated silver stains and/or PCR were used to identify and confirm this agent. This monoclonal antibody identifies Bartonella henselae in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Cross-reactivity tests were performed on (12) Bartonella henselae strains, (11) Bartonella quintana strains, (2)Bartonella bacilliformis strains, (1) B. elizabethae, (1) B. grahamii, (1) B. taylorii, (1) B. doshiae, and (1) B. vinsonii strains. Reactivity was only obtained with Bartonella henselae.
