Snippet: Validated serological assays, PCR assays, and culture are available for both B. henselae and B. vinsonii subspecies berkhoffi, and these are the most likely pathogens in dogs ( Table 3 ). The most sensitive way to document Bartonella spp. in the blood of dogs is by the concurrent use of specialized culture media (Bartonella alpha Proteobacteria Growth Medium [BAPGM]) and PCR assay in multiple blood samples, and this combination of tests will dete.....
Document: Validated serological assays, PCR assays, and culture are available for both B. henselae and B. vinsonii subspecies berkhoffi, and these are the most likely pathogens in dogs ( Table 3 ). The most sensitive way to document Bartonella spp. in the blood of dogs is by the concurrent use of specialized culture media (Bartonella alpha Proteobacteria Growth Medium [BAPGM]) and PCR assay in multiple blood samples, and this combination of tests will detect all known Bartonella spp. of dogs. 25 However, BAPGM-PCR can be negative even in infected dogs if only 1 sample is tested. The panel believes the optimal standard is to use B. henselae and B. vinsonii subspecies berkhoffi seronegative and BAPGM-PCR negative dogs as donors (Table 1) .
