I am on Ketek for the Lyme, but does anyone know whether Ketek works on Bartonella or Erhlichia? or do you need different abx to treat these organisms?

I think it helps in combination with other abx. The most effective abx for bartonella seem to be levaquin or rifampin, in combination with other drugs. I found rifampin to work better.

My LLMD told me it works on Bartonella also.
