Mycoplasma spp. (A) and Bartonella spp. (B) genotypes identified from Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma bats during this study (2021–2022). Genotypes are given with their host species, locations, and mean intra-genotype sequence similarity from the partial 16S rRNA, 23S rRNA, rpoB, or gltA gene sequences identified here.
