Abstract excerpt
A comparison of the osp operon in 24 Lyme disease isolates, including representatives from each of the three established species, Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia garinii, and group VS461, was conducted. Several properties were assessed to determine whether the variability observed in this operon w...
