La enfermedad de Carrión es una enfermedad poco conocida que afecta principalmente a comunidades en los Andes. Esta patología se caracteriza por presentar una fase aguda, conocida como fiebre de La Oroya, y una fase crónica, conocida como verruga peruana. Aunque se transmite principalmente a través de la picadura de artrópodos hembras del género Lutzomyia, se sospecha que existen otros vectores. Esta enfermedad es causada por la bacteria gram negativa Bartonella bacilliformis. Este patógeno pertenece al género Bartonella, que presenta tres grupos diferenciados, siendo B. bacilliformis parte del grupo de las Eubartonella, en el linaje L1, que comparte con B. ancashensis. Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar señales de adaptación en la virulencia de B. bacilliformis. Se utilizó un conjunto de 39 genomas de Bartonella disponibles en el NCBI, así como 13 genomas adicional...

Genetic diversity is an important component of biodiversity, and it is crucial for current efforts to protect and sustainably manage several organisms and habitats. As far as we know, there is only one work describing Peruvian genetic information stored in public databases. We aimed to update this previous work searching in four public databases that stored digital sequence information: Nucleotide, BioProject, PATRIC, BOLD. With this information, we comment on the contribution of Peruvian institutions during recent years. In Nucleotide, the largest database, Bacteria are the most sequenced organisms by Peruvian institutions (70.60%), pathogenic bacteria such as Pasteurella multocida, Neisseria meningitidis, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were the most abundant. We found no sequence records from the Archaea domain. In BioProject, the most common sequence belongs to Salmonella enterica subsp....
