  Abstract

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