Extensive interplasmidic duplications change the virulence phenotype of the relapsing fever agent Borrelia turicatae.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Dec 1999

Abstract excerpt

The relapsing fever agent Borrelia turicatae has two antigenically distinct serotypes, A and B, which differ in their variable small proteins (Vsps) and in their degree of virulence and neurotropism in mice. Each Vsp gene (vspA or vspB) had an expression-linked copy that was unique to the serotype expressing it. This was located on one linear plasmid, which was defined by the upstream sequence. The archived...
