Candidatus Bartonella ancashi, [2]

Bartonella ancashensis is a bacterium from the genus Bartonella which has been isolated from blood from patients who suffered from verruga peruana in Caraz in Peru. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Bartonella ancashensis is a human pathogen which may cause verruga peruana. [1]

It is not yet certain if Bartonella ancashensis causes verruga peruana, as it may not meet all of Koch's postulates. Still, there is not experimental reproduction of Peruvian wart in animals for affirm that bartonella ancashi causes the Peruvian wart. Science needs to base its conclusions on the best available evidence. [6]

<i>Bartonella bacilliformis</i> Species of bacterium

Bartonella bacilliformis is a bacterium, Gram negative aerobic, pleomorphic, flagellated, motile, coccobacillary, 2–3 μm long, 0.2–0.5 μm wide, and a facultative intracellular bacterium.

Alberto Barton (1870–1950) was an Argentine-born Peruvian microbiologist who discovered the etiologic agent of Carrion´s disease or Oroya fever. The bacteria was named Bartonella bacilliformis, in his honor. It is the type species of the genus Bartonella, and family Bartonellaceae.
