Hi Joe,
Welcome to LymeNet.

Don't how much scientific info you need about Bart, but the following may help:

LDF brochure "Tick-Spread Diseases" says
"Bartonella, commonly called cat scratch disease, is caused by the bacterium 'Bartonella henselae'."
www.lyme.org

LDA brochure "Lyme{R}Primer" says
"Bartonellosis-illness caused by an intracellular bacteria that can be transmitted either by a cat bite or scratch or a tick bite. When present in combination with Lyme disease, atypical presentations may result including visual problems, headaches, significant lymph node enlargement, resistant neurological deficits, and the new onset of a siezure disorder...."
www.LymeDiseaseAssociation.org

"Bartonella Alert" is a compilation of info from many sources. Written by one of the best: Tincup.

"Diagnostic Hints & Treatment Guidelines...."
page 23: Bartonella-like organisms

I hope others will have additional info.
