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