Phylogenetic analysis of Bartonella ftsZ sequences (790 bp after alignment) based on the topology generate on the BI method. The values of support of posterior probability/bootstrap higher than 50% are shown in each branch. The Bartonella sequence of the present work was highlighted in red. The Bartonella sequences highlighted in blue were previously detected in rodents from the same research group. The Bartonella sequence detected in a specimen of Carollia perspicillata was positioned alone in one branch and clustered with Bartonella sp. detected in a deer from Asia and other Bartonella spp. with 100% of probability (red branches). A Bartonella genotype detected in a bat sampled in Finland was closely positioned with the sequence of the present study, with 100/75% of probability (green branches). Brucella abortus and Ochrobactrum anthropi were used as outgroups.
