Figure Lengend Snippet: Multiplex real-time PCR using 3 SimpleProbe probes: Bartonella genus-specific, B. henselae-specific, and B. quintana-specific probes. PCR was performed on valvular tissue of a 65-year-old patient with native aortic valve Bartonella quintana endocarditis (patient number 34 [Table 2]). Two fluorescent peaks corresponding to melting temperatures (Tms) of 57.2°C and 67.6°C are the result of detachment of the genus-specific and B. quintana-specific probes from the PCR product, respectively. Plasmids pMR-ribC185-Bq and pMR-ribC185-Bh were used as positive controls for B. quintana and B. henselae, respectively.
