Number and percentage of specimens tested by using Bartonella-specific PCR during 2003–2021 in study of Bartonella spp. infections identified by molecular methods, United States. A total of 2,273 specimens were submitted for B. henselae and B. quintana bispecific targeted PCR. Bars indicate total numbers of submitted specimens each year and numbers of Bartonella-positive or negative specimens. Line indicates percentage of specimens that were positive for Bartonella spp.
