It is small, aerobic, oxidase-negative, and Gram-negative. Its rod-like cells were localized within wild rabbit erythrocytes when first described. The type strain is IBS 382^T (= CIP 105477^T). It is associated with cases of lymphadenitis{{cite journal|last1=Angelakis|first1=Emmanouil|last2=Lepidi|first2=Hubert|last3=Canel|first3=Atbir|last4=Rispal|first4=Patrick|last5=Perraudeau|first5=Françoise|last6=Barre|first6=Isabelle|last7=Rolain|first7=Jean-Marc|last8=Raoult|first8=Didier|title=Human Case ofBartonella alsaticaLymphadenitis|journal=Emerging Infectious Diseases|volume=14|issue=12|year=2008|pages=1951–1953|issn=1080-6040|doi=10.3201/eid1412.080757|pmid=19046532|pmc=2634634}} and endocarditis.{{cite journal|last1=Raoult|first1=D.|last2=Roblot|first2=F.|last3=Rolain|first3=J.-M.|last4=Besnier|first4=J.-M.|last5=Loulergue|first5=J.|last6=Bastides|first6=F.|last7=Choutet|first7=P.|title=First Isolation of Bartonella alsatica from a Valve of a Patient with Endocarditis|journal=Journal of Clinical Microbiology|volume=44|issue=1|year=2006|pages=278–279|issn=0095-1137|doi=10.1128/JCM.44.1.278-279.2006|pmid=16390990|pmc=1351971}}{{cite journal|last1=Jeanclaude|first1=D.|last2=Godmer|first2=P.|last3=Leveiller|first3=D.|last4=Pouedras|first4=P.|last5=Fournier|first5=P.-E.|last6=Raoult|first6=D.|last7=Rolain|first7=J.-M.|title=Bartonella alsaticaendocarditis in a French patient in close contact with rabbits|journal=Clinical Microbiology and Infection|volume=15|year=2009|pages=110–111|issn=1198-743X|doi=10.1111/j.1469-0691.2008.02187.x|pmid=19438633|doi-access=free}}
