Molecular typing of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato: taxonomic, epidemiological, and clinical implications.

Abstract excerpt

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the spirochete that causes human Lyme borreliosis (LB), is a genetically and phenotypically divergent species. In the past several years, various molecular approaches have been developed and used to determine the phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity within the LB-related spirochetes and their potential association with distinct clinical syndromes. These methods include serotyping,...
