Bartonella vinsonii is a gram-negativebacteria from the genus Bartonella which was isolated from dogs.[3][4][5]Rochalimaea vinsonii was reclassified to Bartonella vinsonii.[4]B. vinsonii contains three validly published subspeciesB. vinsonii subsp. arupensis, B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii, and B. vinsonii subsp. vinsonii, and one effectively published B. vinsonii subsp. yucatanensis.[6][7]B. vinsonii subsp. vinsonii has been isolated from voles and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhofli was isolated from a dog with endocarditis.[4]B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii can cause diseases in humans.[8] Those two subspecies are named after J.
