Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the 24 extant, validated Bartonella taxa inferred from alignment of partial (326 bp) gltA sequences. Evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model. The tress with the highest log likelihood is shown. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA5. Imposed on the tree are the distributions of the three T4SSs (red box = VirB/D4, blue box = Trw, green box: Vbh) and flagella (orange box) amongst the taxa. To the right of the tree is an indication of the three evolutionary lineages defined within the genus.
