本研究的目的是通过血液培养确定巴尔通体在欧洲城市流浪猫群体中血液感染的流行程度，因此，从10个猫群中捕获94只流浪猫，将这些猫的血液样本在血液琼脂和液体培养基上培养，以提高细菌检测的可能性，50份血液样本（53%）的巴尔通体阳性培养结果。分离鉴定是由序列的第一个430年基地16 s核糖体DNA,从而获得三种类型的序列,第一种(17隔离;34%)是相同的b henselae Houston-1和相应的菌株被称为b henselae I型,第二个序列类型(18隔离;36%)是相同的,最初称为“BA-TF”和相应的菌株被称为b . henselae II型,第三序列类型(15隔离;30%)与巴尔通体型菌株（ATCC 51734）相同。我们的研究指出了流浪猫作为巴尔通体宿主的主要作用，这种细菌可以传播给宠物猫，从而传播给人类。研究还强调了流浪猫血液中巴尔通体的高患病率（16%）。
The aim of the present work was to determine by blood culture the prevalence of blood infection with Bartonella species in a well-defined, European, urban stray cat population, Therefore, 94 stray cats were trapped from 10 cat colonies, Blood samples of these cats were cultured on both blood agar and liquid medium in order to raise the likelihood of bacterial detection, Fifty blood samples (53%) gave a positive culture result for Bartonella species, Isolate identification was performed by sequencing the first 430 bases of the 16S ribosomal DNA, Three types of sequences were thus obtained, The first type (17 isolates; 34%) was identical to that of B. henselae Houston-1 and the corresponding strains were referred as B. henselae type I, The second sequence type (18 isolates; 36%) was identical to that initially described as ''BA-TF,'' and the corresponding strains were referred to as B. henselae type II, The third sequence type (15 isolates; 30%) was identical to that of the Bartonella clarridgeiae type strain (ATCC 51734), Our study points out the major role of stray cats as a reservoir of Bartonella spp, which can be transmitted to pet cats and, consequently, to humans, The study also highlights the high prevalence of B. clarridgeiae (16%) in the blood of stray cats.
