Bartonella: A genus of bacteria found in humans and in arthropod vectors; grows slowly in artificial media and may be recovered from blood cultures from infected patients; may be seen intracellularly in tissues and erythrocytes. Bartonella is a minute, gram-negative, coccobacillary organism, which may appear curved; it can cause an indolent, poorly defined, progressive disease in immunocompromised patients, including those with HIV infections.

Bartonella: genus of gram negative bacteria characteristically appearing in chains of several segmenting organisms; occurs in man and arthropod vectors; etiologic agent of human bartonellosis, bacillary angiomatosis, trench fever and cat scratch disease; the genus Rochalimaea, once considered a separate genus, has been combined with the genus Bartonella as a result of high levels of relatedness.

Bartonella: A genus of gram-negative bacteria characteristically appearing in chains of several segmenting organisms. It occurs in man and arthropod vectors and is found only in the Andes region of South America. This genus is the etiologic agent of human bartonellosis. The genus Rochalimaea, once considered a separate genus, has recently been combined with the genus Bartonella as a result of high levels of relatedness in 16S rRNA sequence data and DNA hybridization data.
