Bartonella quintana is increasingly recognized as a cause of clinical disease in various geographical locations. We characterized three Australian strains associated with endocarditis, using established molecular-typing techniques, the 16S/23S rRNA intergenic spacer (ITS) region, and multispacer typing (MST). All strains examined demonstrated novel ITS and/or MST genotypes. Further characterization of Australian strains is required to determine whether there is an association between genotype and geographical location.
