Bartonella is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. It is the only genus in the family Bartonellaceae.^[2]^[3] Facultative intracellular parasites, Bartonella species can infect healthy people, but are considered especially important as opportunistic pathogens.^[4] Bartonella species are transmitted by vectors such as fleas, sand flies, and mosquitoes. At least eight Bartonella species or subspecies are known to infect humans.^[5]

Bartonella henselae is the organism responsible for cat scratch disease.
