Abstract

We used a whole-genome scanning technique to identify the NADH dehydrogenase gamma subunit ( nuoG ) primer set that is sensitive and specific enough to detect a diverse number of Bartonella species in a wide range of environmental samples yet maintains minimal cross-reactivity to mammalian host and arthropod vector organisms.
