The knowledge base about both Bartonella testing and treatment borders on the disastrous. Bartonella is one of the most common infections in the world. Calling it a "coinfection" is nonsense; if anything, Lyme is the "coinfection." It is found in vast numbers of common vectors, including dust mites, fleas, flea feces, pet saliva, and ticks. Amazingly, it can turn off or lower antibodies to Lyme disease, Babesia, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and even itself. Bartonella floats in blood and also enters all blood vessel walls without causing a fatal fever, and indeed actually lowers fevers. It is the ultimate stealth infection. It turns off antibodies, fevers, and immune function defense chemicals as it damages organs in 20 to 60 ways."
Bartonella as a Nanobacteria;

"DNA and RNA analysis of 16s rRNA places N. sanguineum as a previously undetected but omnipresent genus/species within the alpha-2 –subgroup of Proteobacteria. Bacteria closely related to Nanobacteria inhabit soil, hot springs, mammals, and plants. Some of them can penetrate plant cells resulting is symbiosis (Rhizobia,) or cancer and other disease states (Agrobacteria, Phyllobacteria). The alpha-2 subgroup contains Bartonella and Brucella, closely related and antigenically similar to N. sanguineum, known mammalian pathogens that invade cells, even fetuses, causing cytopathic effects and bacteremia. Brucella is known to pass into the urine. All three, Bartonella, Brucella, and Nanobacteria, share common properties; all are extremely difficult to culture and all are impermeable to standard stains. All three invade mammalian tissues and cells, produce cytotoxic effect, and cause bacteremia - bacteremia unlike that of any other known bacteria; huge numbers are present in the blood of individuals having relatively few symptoms. Bartonella species cause chronic bacteremia in almost half of the Earth’s cats and rodents, and have recently been identified in ruminants such as deer, elk, and beef and dairy cattle. In 22 beef cattle in a North Carolina herd, Nanobacterium sanguineum Antigen was found in 100% and Bartonella could be cultured from 50%. Nanobacterium sanguineum has been reposited in the German Collection of Micororganisms (DSM No: 5819-5821). Although N. sanguineum is gram negative, they do not pick up gram stain, but they share many surface characteristics with traditional gram-negative organisms, such as the presence in their membranes of porins, muramic acid; and lipopolysaccharide endotoxin is present in its biofilm. No other bacteria are so resistant to elimination as are nanobacteria."
The calcification defense mechanism;
www.alive.com/articles/view/19103/the_nanobacteria_revolution
"Researchers E. Olavi Kajander and Neva Ciftcioglu discovered in 1995 that nanobacteria secrete a sticky, calcium-rich coating that allows them to adhere to cells inside artery walls and to each other. The coating then calcifies into a shell, protecting the bacteria from the immune system as well as all antibiotics, radiation, and even chemotherapy."
As we all know "Lyme" infections are hard to clear, coincidentally so are "Morgellons" infections. In Bartonella infections you get red track marks, coincidentally you also get red track marks with a "Morgellons" infection. Bartonella causes unhealing lesions , the lesions present as the infection progresses from the subcutaneous layer toward the epidermis and don't heal because of the established level of bacteremia, in Bartonellosis theis is known as Bacillary Agiomatosis, the same unhealing lesions are seen in "Morgellons" infections.

"The epithelial layer of the skin provides an essential function as a protective barrier against insult from the outside environment. The major cell type in this layer is keratinocytes which consists around 85% of living epidermal cells. Keratinocytes are the cells of stratified squamous epithelia. It is so named because its most abundant protein is keratin."

"Morgellons disease (MD) is a term that has been used in the last decade to describe filaments that can be found in human epidermis. It is the subject of considerable debate within the medical profession and is often labeled as delusions of parasitosis or dermatitis artefacta. This view is challenged by recent published scientific data put forward between 2011-2013 identifying the filaments found in MD as keratin and collagen based and furthermore associated with spirochetal infection."
The word association is key here, an "association"
A study of genetics would reveal that to get something novel to grow from the skin is a form of Gene Expression, to accomplish that an adjustment of cellular DNA is required.
There are only two bacteria known to science that can accomplish this and one of them is Agrobacterium, that is why it is used to GM the food supply, the other is Bartonella. Borrelia can not accomplish this as noted in the scientific literature.

"Bartonella are the only bacteria able to produce angiogenic tumors in humans, very much like the Agrobacterium species that produce tumors in plants"
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21844337
"Conjugative DNA transfer into human cells by the VirB/VirD4 type IV secretion system of the bacterial pathogen Bartonella henselae."
The conclusion based on the above is that Bartonella or a Bartonella like organism has adjusted the cellular genome of the Keratinocytes causing them to produce keratin fibers.
i.m.h.o.
THE CALCIFICATION DEFENSE MECHANISM IS A MAJOR OBSTACLE TO RESOLUTION OF BARTONELLOSIS SYMPTOM SETS INCLUDING "MORGELLONS" DISEASE.
So how to address this?

........................."coating then calcifies into a shell"
Morgellons has been called a lot of different things by a lot of people who are motivated by different influences. If you want to get all Sci-Fi here I guess you could call Morgellons.........the Nano-Clam infection ,or you could just call it Bartonellosis.
