  abstract = {{C}ertain {B}artonella species are known to cause afebrile bacteremia in humans and other mammals, including {B}. quintana, the agent of trench fever, and {B}. henselae, the agent of cat scratch disease. {R}eports have indicated that animal-associated {B}artonella species may cause paucisymptomatic bacteremia and endocarditis in humans. {W}e identified potentially zoonotic strains from 6 {B}artonella species in samples from patients who had chronic, subjective symptoms and who reported tick bites. {T}hree strains were {B}. henselae and 3 were from other animal-associated {B}artonella spp. ({B}. doshiae, {B}. schoenbuchensis, and {B}. tribocorum). {G}enomic analysis of the isolated strains revealed differences from previously sequenced {B}artonella strains. {O}ur investigation identifed 3 novel {B}artonella spp. strains with human pathogenic potential and showed that {B}artonella spp. may be the cause of undifferentiated chronic illness in humans who have been bitten by ticks.},
