Bartonella tamiae sp. nov., a Newly Recognized Pathogen Isolated from Three Human Patients from Thailand

Abstract
Three strains of a novel Bartonella species ( Bartonella tamiae ) were isolated from human patients from Thailand. Sequence analysis of six chromosomal regions (16S rRNA, gltA , groEL , ftsZ , rpoB , and the intergenic spacer region) and phenotypical analysis supported the similarity of the three strains and placed them within the genus Bartonella separately from previously described species.
