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

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

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]
