Unrooted dendrogram showing the phylogenetic position of Bartonella sp. strain AUST/NH1 among Bartonella species inferred from the comparison of concatenated sequences from the rrs, gltA, intergenic spacer, rpoB, and ftsZ genes by the neighbor-joining method. We included only species for which all 5 genes were available. Bootstrap values are indicated at the nodes. The scale bar indicates nucleotide sequence divergence of 0.5%.
