Description:

To determine genotypic distribution of and relationship between human and cat strains of Bartonella henselae,we characterized 56 specimens using multispacer typing (MST). Of 13 MST genotypes identified, 12 were grouped into cluster 1. In Japan, human infections can be caused by B. henselae strains in cluster 1.
