Bartonella saheliensis is a Gram-negative bacterium from the genus Bartonella which has been isolated from the blood of a Kemp's gerbil from Sine-Saloum in Senegal.[1][3][2]
Discovery
[edit]It was discovered by team of scientists consisting H. Dahmana, H. Medkour, H. Anani, L. Granjon, G. Diatta, F. Fenollar, and O. Mediannikov. The team isolated it, from the blood of a Kemp's gerbil from Sine-Saloum in Senegal. Then they sequenced its full genome and identified their morphological structure and announced their discovery.
Genome
[edit]Its genome has 2,327,299 bp (G+C content 38.4%) and codes for 2015 proteins and 53 RNA genes. Its 16sRNA and other components of gene were sequenced and submitted to the gene bank.[2]
