Utility of Molecular Identification and Quantitation of Bartonella Species with Species-Specific Real-Time PCR for Monitoring Treatment Response: A Case Series

Fig. (1) Amplification and melting curve of B. henselae (obtained from case report #2). Real time lyght cycler PCR assay of Bartonella spp. (A). Identification of PCR products was confirmed by melting curve analysis. The melting curve profiling revealed specific DNA of B. henselae in blood sample (B).
