Bartonella is a genus of bacteria. It is the only one in the family Bartonellaceae. The species can be parasitic and cause diseases in animals and humans.^[2] They live mostly in the cells of the host, as intracellular parasites.

Bartonella species are pathogens.^[3] Bartonella species are transmitted by vectors such as ticks, fleas, sand flies, and mosquitoes. At least eight Bartonella species or subspecies are known to infect humans.^[4]

Bartonella is named after Alberto Leonardo Barton (1870–1950), a medical microbiologist.
