Detection of established virulence genes and plasmids to differentiate Borrelia burgdorferi strains.

Infection and immunity - 1 Apr 2012

Chan Kamfai, Casjens Sherwood, Parveen Nikhat

Abstract excerpt

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto is the major causative agent of Lyme disease in the United States, while B. garinii and B. afzelii are more prevalent in Europe. The highly complex genome of B. burgdorferi is comprised of a linear chromosome and a large number of variably sized linear and circu...
