rRNA gene organization in the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 1992

Schwartz J J, Gazumyan A, Schwartz I

Abstract excerpt

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. The causative agent is the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. The copy number and organization of the genes encoding the rRNAs of this organism were determined. There is a single gene for 16S rRNA and two copies each of the...
