Population genetic analysis of Borrelia burgdorferi isolates by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis.

Infection and immunity - 1 Apr 1992

Abstract excerpt

Fifty Borellia burgdorferi strains isolated from humans and ticks in Europe and the United States were analyzed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. Eleven genetic loci were characterized on the basis of the electrophoretic mobilities of their products. Ten loci were polymorphic. The average number of alleles per locus was 5.9, with a mean genetic diversity of 0.673 among electrophoretic types (ETs). The strains...
